Title: Coolant Warning
Post by: dj_dee99 on March 01, 2006, 05:51:03 PM
When I start the car from cold, the coolant warning light is coming on & it starts beeping. Thing is, the coolant is full. It stops after it has warmed up a little. And there\'s no overheating problems. Any ideas what could cause this?

That\'s your coolant fluid level that\'s low.

I would say that your coolant system has some air trapped in it.It needs to be properly bled,that should fix it.
