I had an Indy replace the water pump on my 04S last fall. On the way home the coolant system burped and gave the flashing light for low coolant. Mine was low. Could also be a leaking/ loose cap. Rick

Yes, check the cap for cross threading. The one and only time my coolant light flashed was when I checked the level and put it back on cock eyed. Also make sure it is the newest cap available ending in 04. The relief valve spring on the cap can get weak on older caps.
