Default Light on the instrument cluster

I just bought a 98 GT and was driving it when a yellow light that looks like a trash can with an x in the middle keeps on coming on and off. Any idea what this is?? Thanks

Check your coolant level. If its full, you may have a bad sensor.

No, it's reminding him to take out the trash, geez...

It does look like a trash can though I think Ford could have made a better symbol for low coolant (even text saying Low coolant would work [&:]), but what do I know...

Like it's been said before, check your coolant level, if it's fine, the sensor is probably bad... can't replace just the sensor if I'm not mistaken, it's in the coolant tank housing. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not positive in the least.
