Help! High coolant temp light! (I think) ctscott!

[jRoss]

Sometimes when I shift kinda hard into either 2nd or 3rd gear, mostly only when I'm turning, I believe my high coolant temp light comes on. At least I think that's what it looks like, it's orange, two humps with a pole in the middle? I don't think my radiator fan is coming on! I just drove to Chicago and back so that may have done it. I don't think the car is actually overheating because the light doesn't stay on, correct? Kinda weird to me that it only happens when shifting and turning. Any insight would be great, I'd like to get this fixed ASAP cause I need my car all the time.

Sounds like tire pressure light as u describe it. Try adding air into the tires first

No it's def not tire pressure, that stays on all the time cause my rims don't have sensors. It's on the left side of the cluster close to trac off.

That freaked me out too the first time I saw it while shifting gears - but I knew it wasn't the coolant light.
