    Vehicle was in motion and overheating lights for coolant came in and dropped right back down. Warning message came right back on 5 minutes later. If the car moves for more then 1.5 hours straight it comes on. The warning light flickers up and down because of the temperature. The temperature gage in the car will go all the way to the top and drop back down real quick.
