Low Coolant light came on several months ago. Visual inspection showed Coolant reservoir was down a little. Brought the coolant up to where it should be.

Trouble light went out, and stayed off for several months, but is now back on. Visual check shows Coolant reservior is full.

Wondering what else could be wrong other than a faulty sensor?

Could driving the car until I can get it in to have it checked cause damage to the engine?

Ford says to fill the bottle all the way up, don't go by the lines, see if that helps, if not it is probably the sensor in the bottle.
