Ummmm.....I am unaware of a yellow COOLANT light.

Is it a yellow light that is animated and has "fluid" shooting out the top of a can? If so, your windshield washer fluid is low, not your coolant.

Yes..when all else fails read the owner's manual.
Been there, done that.

So did filling up W/W reservoir fix the problem or not? I hope so, for you.
I have same 'low w/w fluid level" warning light, even with full tank & new sensor. I've discovered this part & others share a ground wiring (ground 269) that is not grounded. Does your light dimmer switch work? This is another component that shares ground 269.
