Hey guys, ever since I had the radiator flushed and coolant changed I have the coolant MIL on the instrument cluster on. I have hooked up my scan tool to get the DTC codes and it doesn't have any. I checked the radiator and coolant level and everything seems fine. Any clues?

It's a common problem to have the coolant level sensor stop working after a fluid change.

The coolant sesor may be unplugged, or the float may be stuck, look in the tank and if you can't see the float put a piece of bent wire in there to unstick it from the bottom of the tank.
