Welcome.

Which light exactly? If it's a level sensor they're notorious for going wrong and not that cheap.

You can usually disconnect and bridge the contacts to overcome it, or else should be easy to replace. Many GT4 owners have done this on the one on the Charge Cooler.

To test it, remove the sensor and see if its float floats when dunked in a bowl of water. Also check that its contacts open and close when the float rises and falls.

Hi the warning light refers to the secondary water level not being to the recomeded level acording to the list of warning lights, the level of the plastic filling tank under bonnet is ok I can't find any wires going to that so were the secondary is I don't know? unless it is refering to the radiater but i do't rember any wires going to that when I fitted a new one the car is a 8 seater diesel Toyota Emina Kenglos
