How are you question I have a 2015 Volvo S60 When I'm on a highway and I breakfast I have a cooling light FlashAnd then it disappears but the cooling itself is full to the top could it just be a Sensor Is there a way that I can check it out myself without bringing it to a mechanic I opened the cap and the coolant looks to be normal
It only happens when I break hard on the highway it goes on and it goes off right away It could be a sensor if I'm not mistaken I'm not a mechanic I could be wrong
When you make a hard stop the coolant will slosh around in the expansion tank which is where the coolant level sensor is usually located. Depending on the exact location of the sensor this might cause it to briefly see a low coolant level.
Is there anything that I need to do or just leave it alone if it's not a big issue
If coolant level is good and all else is OK I wouldn't see it as anything to worry about. Certainly if the light comes on more frequently or stays on it should be checked out.
It only happened on the highway a few times and then it disappeared thank you brother I appreciate your help
When I got home I opened the hood again and open the coolant cap To make sure everything is inside and the level seems to be fine It could be a glitch who knows
You may have a defective thermostat, radiator cap or temperature sending unit. Also, possible water pump issues.
It just happened today my 1st time and now it just disappeared I don't see the issue anymore Appearing
