The sensor is in the overflow cap. They fail regularly. If the bottle is full, then no need to worry about the actual cooling system. If the light is on, but the bottle full, just unplug the sensor. Try cleaning it, otherwise time to replace it.

Mine had enough rust scum to keep the floaty thing from moving, cleaned it and has worked ever since
