The coolant loss seems gradual I haven't seen any white smoke Could you explain the pressure test procedure I'm not sure how to check for coolant in the oil or what it looks like

A pressure test uses a tool to pressurize the cooling system and watch for pressure drops indicating a leak For coolant in the oil check the dipstick Milky or light brown oil instead of its normal dark color could mean contamination The error code might mean a sensor related to the coolant system is malfunctioning and triggering a false low coolant warning A workshop visit for a thorough diagnosis might be best the electrical issue could be hiding the real problem

I took the vehicle to a workshop and they did a pressure test finding a small leak in a radiator hose They also found a faulty coolant level sensor causing the error code Replacing the hose and sensor fixed it Thanks for the help

Coolant loss can be tricky Is the loss gradual or rapid Pressure test the system A leak can sometimes be hard to spot until the system is under pressure Also check for coolant in the oil a blown head gasket can cause coolant loss without external leaks Is there any white smoke coming from the exhaust
