Does anyone know how to bleed coolant

[JohnD]

Does anyone know hot to bleed the coolant on a 2001 4.4 X5? The truck is running fine but the coolant level light comes on everytime I shut it off. I just replaced the waterpump and hoses and tried to bleed it by doing the following:

Car off
Loosen bleeder screw
Turn car to position just before starting
Turn temp to highest setting - fan to lowest

There are no bubles coming out and the fluid is full

Thanks

It could be the fluid level sensor. I had this issue on my e36 and just ignored it until I replaced the reservoir and the problem went away.

Here is a thread (search) with lots of info about bleeding including from weasel (mechanic).

It sounds like it may not be a bleeding issue in your case, and could be something electrical perhaps?
