Check to make sure your overflow bottle is some what full of coolant ' theres also a sensor in or on the bottle that reads if your low on coolant ' this might be dirty ' clean it.

It takes a while for the coolant to cycle through. I had a low coolant light for a couple months, I'd fill it up, let it flow, the light would come on again, repeat....then one day I never saw the light again.
