There is a small tube built inside the surge tank just above the sensor connection. (in the furthest left chamber next to the radiator hose fitting in the picture below).

A small magnetic ball floats on the coolant in this tube. If the water gets to low, the magnet gets close to the sensor and triggers the light.

Assuming your engine is not overheating when you drive and the coolant level light is illuminated, you may have:

A stuck magnetic ball
A bad sensor
A faulty electrical connection
