False Coolant level readings

Bimmer221 · 04-18-2020, 02:23 AM

For the past month now, my car has had constant CC-ID 166 which is reading low coolant levels. I've checked every day to make sure that the coolant levels are indeed normal. I've gone on quite long drives with no warnings of overheating or anything. Is it just the Coolant level sensor that has gone bad or am I just missing something? The car is a 2009 328i with 90k miles

Change the sensor and report back. It's a dirt cheap sensor

This was my situation. I switched to a 335d coolants tank shortly after I got coolant level warning. Switched the old sensor from the original tank, haven't got it since.
