Make sure you are checking the coolant level in the radiator as well as in the overflow tank. The sensor is located in the radiator, so if the level in the overflow tank is good, it could still be low in the radiator.
The coolant sensor should be located near where
the upper radiator hose is attached to the engine and has a wire connector on it with 2 wires. It's the
only sensor near there. Then there's the sensor that'll be attached to your reservoir tank somewhere along the firewall
It could be that the low coolant sensor is just dirty. You should be able to follow a wire to the top part of your radiator, to the sensor, or it might be in the overflow tank, take it out and clean it, and see if that will do it, if not, replace it.
The low coolant sensor should be located in the passenger side radiator tank, You need to take it out and clean the sludge off of it for it to work right. Or you can just unplug it and forget about it, the light will go out and it won't cause any problems.
NEVER open the radiator when the car (or any other engine) is running!! The radiator is part of the pressurized cooling system (under that cap is coolant at 15psi)
Correct way to check the coolant in the radiator, is wait until the engine is COLD, then remove the radiator cap and re-fill.
