2000 Saturn SL1 Idiot Light?

[skypilot]

This light came on just as I pulled in to the office parking lot this morning...

1) Engine temp looks good
2) Brake fluid is full
3) Power steering fluid is full
3) Oil level is good
4) Coolant level is good

Does anyone know what it is?

Awful paint drawing

no manual?

It means that your dangling triagle is too close to the ocean waves.

Mine did that because of the gas cap or something...wait, I think that was the issue.

...or wait, something had to be reset...bleh, now I dont remember. Sheesh lots of help I was:roll:

Drat! I knew it! As my dangling triangle is extremely sensitive to salt damage, I need to fix this, and fast!

My guess is it's a coolant light. There could be a leak or you could just have a bad sensor.

your car is about to sink?

on a serious note go to your local auto parts shop and check out or buy a manual.

Something to do with water temp. My guess is bad thermostat. In other words the valve controlling the flow of water from the radiator to the engine block is bad.

That's my guess too

Yup, should be coolant low, or something to that effect.

Take it in to your local pep boys / autozone / murrays / etc, and have them hook up the code reader. That should tell you exactly what the car thinks is the problem.

Coolant light.

Could be a loose wire going into the coolant level sensor in the coolant bottle or it could be a bad coolant level sensor, which is moleded into the coolant bottle. Do you have a temperature guage, and if so, what does it say?

It's reminding you not to piss in the pool.

Coolant level is my thought too. Check the level, sensor, wiring, etc. Rinse, repeat.
