Yeah search!
The coolant level light is most likely just the sensor. There are a ton of threads on it!

Here's two to get you started!

Sorry, but there have been at least three threads started today on just the friggin coolant light. And a couple of gee....what does this light mean as I don't have a manual for my car! Nevermind the fact that it can be found on the mazdausa.com site for free.

Thanks "W", I was wondering that myself, but I guess I thought may I wasn't up on the slang of something, so I didn't mention it.

Okay.......see........I thought you might have just been riding her hard!

The kind of banging your talking about isn't good obviously! Is this car lowered or on factory Springs/Shocks? Better get it looked into!
