[s-cars] Coolant leak and MFTS Sensor.....

[Jim Fleischer]

Thanks for the tip, Peter.  I did unplug the wires to the sensor, but I 
still have the flashing red warning.  Does this mean I have something else 
failing?  If I'm not mistaken, the "Low Coolant warning" is yellow, not red, 
so I assume that sensor is functioning properly.  Any other ideas, guys?

Thanks!

Jim Fleischer
