During my investigations I attempted to get the icon illuminated with a high line IPK but didn't get it to display. However the car I tried it on was configured for a lowline IPK and I just tried a direct swap for a slave highline IPK. Perhaps I need to code the highline IPK to the actual car to get it to illuminate. |

Yes, yes. Thank you Gary for this how-to! I think now a lot of people will install the sensor. There are a lot of sensors, even horizontal type sensors http://vehiclesensor.net/float-senso...nks-on-trucks/

Why not just mount a low coolant warning LED somewhere? A flashing red LED would be easy to rig up from the sensor.

Besides I can't tolerate non OE add ons to the dashboard or surrounding area. The warning LED built into the IPK is central to the driver at eye level and therefore ideally positioned to show the low coolant early level warning should it occur. Last edited by Lovel; 28th May 2017 at 08:37.. |

That's good news, I'll try it on my V6 once back together, be interesting to know if the highline warning operates without the engine running on the V6.
It is not fantastic if it doesn't, as you could park up and lose coolant when parked (this has happened to me) but you won't get a warning until 20 seconds after starting the engine. I had the optical sensor fitted to my car (currently taken off due to tank leak) and that would warn you as soon as you turned on the ignition if the level had dropped since you parked up.
