low coolant level warning

Does any one know exactly how the low coolant level sensor works on a
1987 C4, i am having a intermitant warning light that comes on, i have
replaced the probe that goes into the radator, (it is a single wire
type) and the module. I can not been able to find any short to ground
on the wiring. does the sensor work on a differential from temp levels
between oil and coolant? does it work on resistance to ground?
Diode, you got any info on this? any body else? my wiring diagraims do
not show the circuts inside the module, so i do not know what
condiotions it is looking for to turn the light on. Greg

Greg:

I can certainly look into it. Is this a stock configuration or have you
done mods? What's the particulars? (engine, AC, etc.)

Shut up, Dave.

maybe you have an air bubble

maybe you have an air bubble

no it is full, ran it until normal operating temp was reached which is
about 200, then removed the cap and filled it full, it just seeks it's
normal level after cooling down and ran up to normal again. the excess
just goes into the purge tank. i did replace the radiator cap also. it
is definitely a false indication. Greg
