Engine temperature light always on

Question

On my Volvo 440 (1992 1.8 LI with single point injection) the engine temperature warning light is always on. The gauge seems to work okay and fluctuates between low and middle (although it does seem to take a long time to move from the cold position).

What might the cause of this be?

Thanks.

Check your coolant level in the reservoir. It may just be a low coolant warning light

Coolant level sensor might be bad.
