Where is there a coolant pressure sensor in the system?   I've never seen
one and don't recall
any reference to one in the manual.

Is it actually the level sensor in the pressure tank?  That doesn't seem to
be connected to the computer in any way,
and mine ('90) flashes randomly without impacting performance.   Maybe a
bad temp sensor?
