The "check coolant level" message will come on when the coolant level is low in the overflow tank. If the message stays on after the tank is filled, make sure the sensor on the front bottom is connected. If the connection is O.K., then lightly tap on the side of the overflow tank with a soft rubber mallet. If the message persists after driving the car a couple of days, replace the overflow tank.
