The coolant level is good and the engine runs cool, l however the dash low coolant light is on. Is there a way to reset or shut off the light or must the sensor be replaced? And where is the sensor located?

Hi there,
As this is a critical warning indicator you should not disconnect it, replace the sensor as I feel it will be faulty, I will check the location for you and advise ASAP.

The sensor is on the coolant reservoir (green box). It is not on the photo, but locate a 2-wire harness on the bottle. The sensor is attached to it.
