Thumbs down SII engine light question

I used to get this light once in a blue moon. Now that winter is over it comes on at hwy speed on warm days. I've checked coolant levels and they are perfect, any thoughts?

Here is the link to a SB that spanned the S1 and early 2009 S2's regarding the coolant light:

You could have a faulty sensor. Fairly common on the older 8's

Np let us know how it turns out. I'll be honest I haven't come across too many 09's that have had this issue so I am curious on how it is handled

I have the same problem on my 09 too but I also get it some at lower speeds when I happen to rev it over like 5k.

Mine just recently started it as well. My old 06 had the same problem intermittently.

I figured Mazda had fixed the problem...... silly me.
