The reservoir has a sensor that goes bad. Replace the reservoir with a new one. Pretty cheap ones found at Rock auto. Had the same issue.

I had radiator light tun on on my truck the same with no problem but the it over heated and immediatly took care of it, but before that it started leaking from the pump.I replaced the pump and thermostat. About $150 in parts cheaper than replacing the engine or buying another suv.
