[urq] UR Quattro overheating light

[Ed Torres]

Steve,

I did put new coolant this weekend, just to make sure that the coolant was up
to date and that it is doing its job....So, Coolant new, system flushed rad
& heater core.  Level is good.



I do have a coolant sensor at the bottom of the reservoir.

why disconnect this one now?



Thanks
