Coolant Reservoir Level Sensor

[ShookieJay]

The past couple days I've been getting a low coolant message when I start my '03 Tahoe. The level in the reservoir is good and temp has been normal. Assuming the sensor is going bad. My question is, can the sensor be replaced or is it molded into the reservoir? I searched online for the sensor and didn't find anything. TIA!

pretty sure the sensor is part of the tank it is on the bottom directly across from where the hose connects on the bottom, you will see a harness

That's what I was thinking, thanks for confirming. I guess I'll replace the reservoir then. Gotta have the system flushed anyway. I had all the fluids changed before a 3k mile round trip drive I made earlier this year. The genius at the shop I went to used green antifreeze. The next day it was orange again... I'll definitely be going to a more reputable shop this time

I went thru this already and is like @Doubeleive said, complete reservoir. There are some DexCool compatible coolants out there that may be a different color than orange. I could be wrong though.

Lol I used to work at the shop that did it. They definitely used generic green. I'm sure there's gonna be some sludge.
