raidator light??

So I'm driving on I95 and I happen to notice my radiator light turn on... staying lit, I start worrying but it turned off after only a few seconds... it's happened one more time since then... what is this?? I've checked the level of coolant and ALL fluids and everything looks peachy... help please

I guess the only thing I can say is that the coolant tank is slightly confusing, at least on mine (an '04) it is very thick and you can barely see light through it, and it makes it very hard to tell if it's low. If you're sure it's not low.....then......no further ideas from me, sorry

Add water to the reservoir and most likely it will go away. If not you might have to replace the reservoir, there are a few bad ones out there.

everything should be fine as long as you got fluids in there...just make sure you arent leaking or anything ....ive read that the sensors tend to go bad
