either its low coolent or there is a sender on the bottom of the rad, on the pass side....check the sender for corrosion or the sender may be faulty

Pull the sensor out and clean off the part that sticks in the rad. Clean the connector also.

thats good to know. My SSE has been doing this for a while. Tried to get the sensor out of the Rad. but was afraid to break the clips and ruin the rad.
Had aftermarket tanks installed, maybe thats why its so hard.
