When my car's coolant is low the light will keep on flashing until I top off the reservoir.
Maybe the electrical connector at the bottom of the tank is loose.

I had that happen once, and I spent some time carefully checking out everything it could be, but found nothing. It never happened again, so I put it down to a sensor glitch.

Weird. My overheat light started flashing today on the temp gauge and my gauge read 180 degrees. I cut the car off, then on and it went a away. I assume just a quirk.

If that light is flashing it means your coolant is low.

If that light stays on(not flashing), then you're having over heating problems.
