RE: Low Coolant!!!!!
Most likely the sending unit in the overflow tank is corroded.
Pull the cap and the low level sensor will come out.
Clean off the sensor really well, reinstall, and reset the KAM.
(reset the Keep Alive Memory by disconnecting the battery for about 15min, which will clear out the trouble code)
To make sure there is nothing else wrong with the car pull the codes after doing this.
There is a code retrieval link in my sig.

There is no need to check for codes b/c of a low coolant light. Unplug the sensor and see if it goes out. If so, replace it. Pretty simple.

Exactly. I had the same problem. Then I broke my sensor trying to clean it. Now I just leave it unplugged, and check the coolant level once a week, along with the oil. I'll replace it one day...just not today.
