So your low coolant light is on and the coolant bottle is full?If so unplug the level sensor on the bottle and jump the terminals on the connector and see if the light turns off?If it does replace the bottle.

No not unless it's leaking coolant and causes a low enough coolant level.I thought it wasn't overheating that the low coolant light was just staying on?
