Low Coolant Indicator

The LOW COOLANT indicator receives battery voltage when the ignition switch is in the following positions:
^ RUN
^ BULB TEST
^ START

The instrument cluster will turn the indicator ON for approximately 1 second during engine start up in order to perform a bulb check. The engine coolant level switch grounds the indicator with the coolant level in the coolant reservoir below the minimum recommended level.
