Mine does this too, but my coolant levels are perfect.

It only does it on cold starts under 32.

My coolant light on my 06 s/c came on few times... so the dealer changed the coolant cap and the light has not come on since. Here in utah it's about 5 degrees, so that may be your problem.

it seems like a common problem, i even had mine do that once, it looks like its at the perfect fill line, but the sensor needs more to shut up.

My car, (2.4) when idleing it was going over 200 degrees, I saw it go up to like 217 degrees...... When ever I rev the engine, that temp. goes down, or it goes down when I start moving. Granted I live in Florida, & don't drive with the AC on too much.

The dealer said it's perfectly normal, until it reaches like 229 degrees, then it will cool itself back off.... because of like 50 lbs. of pressure....

Anybody else have this issue?

I get it like a previous poster said anytime its below 32.... oddly i was runing a pretty good amount of speed today(80+) on a highway and it suddenly poped up out of know where.... but my levels are right where they are supose to be..... sounds like they got a finicky coolant sensor.

I wish I could grab a tuner or a Tech2 and delete that message out of there....along with a few other dummy messages. "LOW WASHER FLUID" "LOW COOLANT" "WEAR YOUR ******* SEATBELT" "WATCH OUT FOR BLIND CHILDREN"

Ok, ok, ok already! This **** ain't K.I.T.T. and I'm definitely not Michael so STFU!
