coolant warning

I have been getting a random coolant warning on my dash, will appear for 20-30 seconds and then disappear. Engine temp stays at normal level. Any thoughts?

This has been covered a million times...I'll play nice though...You have a faulty sensor...Just unplug it and keep an eye on your coolant level.

Problem is that it's a different baby each time.

Pounding on any one of them is like the drill instructor who, after 20 years, screamed at his latest group "Don't you guys ever learn?"

Yes...although I hate suggesting more work for the moderators, lest it be taken as volunteering to become one.

Deleting those threads might backfire, though. I can see members of the feed me crowd posting multiple times thinking there's a problem when their posts don't stick.
