Low Coolant Light (5.7L V8 Engine)
This warning light should
come on while you are
starting your engine.
If the
light doesn’t come on, have
it repaired.
~
Your vehicle is equipped with a low coolant indicator
which is designed to detect when the coolant level drops
below set limits.
If the low coolant level sensor (on the
radiator) drops while the engine is running, the low
coolant indicator will light and remain lit until the
ignition
is turned to OFF. Check coolant level and add
coolant as needed. The low coolant light might stay on
after filling the radiator. Turn the ignition to
OFF, then
restart
the engine to verify that the low coolant light
goes out. See “Engine Coolant” in the Index.
NOTICE:
Driving with the low coolant light on could cause
your vehicle to overheat. See “Engine Overheating”
in the Index. Your vehicle could be damaged and it
wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
