Engine Hot Or Cold Coolant Warning Indicator Lamp Illuminated (ON):
1.
If the coolant level is found to be below the COLD FILL RANGE (seam) add coolant, tighten pressure cap, verify that the warning lamp turns off
after key cycle and return to customer.
2.
If the coolant level is verified to be at the top of the COLD FILL RANGE (seam), disconnect the coolant level sensor and verify that the warning
lamp turns off. If the lamp does turn off then replace the degas bottle. If the lamp remains on with the sensor disconnected then perform
diagnostics on the circuit beyond degas bottle/low coolant sensor.

OPENED. (EXAMPLE: WHEN ADDING COOLANT TO A LOW BOTTLE WITH LAMP ON.)
