Keep in mind, sometimes the sensors go out. So if you have enough antifreeze, then you probably have a bad sensor.

Haven't had much time to look into it.
But i remember reading somewhere that if your coolant tank is stained black on the sides that it means coolant and oil have been mixing and doing so for some time.
And I noticed mine is like that.

Any input?

If you haven't never done anything with it it could just be that low. How low is super low? How many gal. did you add? How stained is it? A little grime is normal, but if its so bad you can't see how much fluid is in there...

I really didn't add much but it looked empty to be honest and i'm really not even sure how much I'm supposed to put in it. I just kept putting it in until it got to the cold fill line I think. and the tank is just lightly blackened on the sides. I will post a picture.
Thanks for your time guys

It actually is pretty dark to where it's hard to see the fluid level
