Touchy
One thing to keep in mind as we reach cooler fall temperatures is that even though the level has been okay all summer, if you go to start the car after a day or two of freezing temperatures, the light may flash. It only means the coolant is low.
But, keep in mind this is very, very sensitive. When mine flashed last week I added about four tablespoons of coolant to the overflow tank and it's now perfectly happy.
The other thing to note is that if it flashes when you start up, it will not stop until the next time you start the car. So, if it flashes, run the car until the temperature needle moves a little bit. Pull over, turn off the car and start it up again. Voila, no more flashing light. Add a bit of coolant when you get home.
