Low antifreeze level itself does not directly trigger the check engine light (CEL). However, it can lead to overheating, which may cause engine components to malfunction, triggering the CEL. The coolant level isn’t directly sensed by the engine’s computer systems. Instead, issues arise from the consequences of low coolant, such as increased engine temperature or a malfunction in the cooling system components like the thermostat or water pump, which are monitored by sensors. If the engine overheats or if there’s a significant discrepancy in the coolant temperature readings, the ECM (Engine Control Module) might set off the CEL to warn the driver. It's crucial to address low antifreeze levels promptly to prevent serious engine damage and to ensure the CEL is not indicating a more severe issue.

Low antifreeze can cause the check engine light to come on. since a low level of coolant can cause the engine to become hotter than usual. which can trigger the check engine light. In some vehicles. however. the temperature warning light may come on instead. You should have your vehicle checked as soon as possible if there is a warning light.
