I just had my intake gasket, thermostat and oil changed about a week ago, the reservoir is filled up, but my "low coolant" just came on earlier, my car hasn't warmed all the way up since I've had these changed. Any ideas on what it could be or if it's just a sensor?

Hello,

My guess would be that your vehicle is low on coolant. I have included a link down below for you. Please go through it and let us know what you find out.

It is a possibility that when your thermostat was replaced coolant could have got spilled and accidentally not replaced. Again, let us know what you find out.


Thanks,

Hello again,

Okay, I would check to two wires coming from the coolant sensor for a short to power somewhere.

Thanks,
