Default Coolant dash light on, but level is normal. Any ideas?

So, as my tittle states, my coolant light illuminates but the actual level looks fine. The light typically does not come on until the car is at normal operating temps. At times it will intermittently turn off as well even at normal driving temps.

There aren't any visible leaks and the radiator was changed like 4 years ago or so. Any ideas what's causing this to happen?

Check your oil level. If yours is a 92 Sc400 I think it won't came with low coolant light.

Check your oil, i know on my m3, i was getting that due to bad headgasket. Check the oil to see if its creamy at all from mixing with the coolant.
