Tanks are cheap enough at $15 to warrant just replacing it. Got rid of yellowish brown aged tank and cured problem. CTS was new in my case already. Cleaning the sensor could work but for the effort replacing the tank was just as easy and "refreshing".

- Stick a screwdriver in the coolant tank and scrape the sensor rods a bit. Fixed mine a few years ago - sTTevo 2015-10-05 20:39:05 (71 views)
  - I've done this before also - but only for the solid coolant warning. This time it was flashing. - SparTTan 2015-10-06 14:28:18 (60 views)

- Mine used to do that when very hot at the track. Bad CTS? - Late_Apex 2015-10-05 15:19:32 (71 views)
  - Possibly. Will watch for it to happen again. - SparTTan 2015-10-05 15:51:20 (72 views)
