Low coolant message when coolant isn't low.
Recently, since the weather has gotten cold, i've been radomly recieving a "Low Coolant" message on my MFD. I've checked the overflow bottle and it's always right where it should be. The message is completely random and always clears on a restart. This seems to be some sort of sensor or sending unit that's going bad. Any idea where it is? Part #?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Note to self:
You're an idiot.
Although the reservoir looked full, after closer examination, it was about 2 inches lower then where it should've been. Manual states to fill the tank to where the clear part of the tank meets the black part of the tank. I didn't think that would've made that much difference but I decided to top it off anyway. 2 inches = 1 quart.
This begs the question, where did those two inches go? The only way coolant disappears is if you have leak, no?
Uggh.
