Every now and then, especially after off-roading or a medium distance drive I get this message. I always check and the level is where its supposed to be in the overfill tank. I do here the gurgling alot of people hear. Im pretty sure I just got it flushed not too long ago but I gotta dig up my records. Any suggestions?

This happened on my 01 silverado.. It was a faulty sensor. i removed the harness and put in a jumper wire to trick it until i replaced it and that fixed the problem

Mine will do it if I'm parked facing down hill or if I park and the passenger side is on the low end of a hill, never gave it much thought after checking the overflow once or twice, as soon as I pull out to a level spot and restart the truck its fine once again

Had that happen to me once, too. Just once, though. Kinda weird. I did all the usual...checked the level and temp and they were fine. Hasn't done it since.

They're just lights and warnings....they don't mean anything. Just ignore them and keep driving....

:driver:

Mine doesn't work. My 2003 silverado worked some times, usually when it was a gallon or so low.

I wounder if these don't get gunked up.

Check your water pump!! Crawl under your truck with a flashlight and maybe a small mirror and check out the bottom of the waterpump to make sure it isn't wet! I had that happen this summer but it never really looked like it was low, just happened to see a drip under my truck, low and behold the water pump was failing!! Just an idea!
