I own a 1999 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L V8 (Vin# T)

The low coolant light came on recently but the coolant level is fine and no leaks anywhere. The recovery container (sensor included) has been replaced within the past year and operating temp is same as always around 190 to 195.
My code reader shows no "DTC'S" at all. Is there a sensor that maybe needs replaced or what would you suggest for the fix.


Thank Youi

the engine coolant level switch or wiring to it must be faulty. the coolant level switch is in the coolant reservoir.
