I have recently had to replace the thermostat because it was sticking, causing my gauge to register hot. I also had my ac belt changed and my cooling system sensor changed. They said that it held good pressure and that it runs good. Now, all of a sudden my cooling system light that says check owners manual has come back on. What should I do next? They said nothing is seriously wrong but I want that light off.

If the low coolant warning is on and the coolant is not low then the coolant level sensor is faulty and should be replaced.

The light doesn't say it is low, it says check coolant system see owners manual. Is this what you mean?

Yes, the coolant level switch is bad and needs replacement.
