Coolant strength or concentration has absolutely nothing to do with the coolant light.

It is a simple level sensor. If the tank is slightly overfull (or more), the vehicle is level, and the coolant light is still on, then the sensor is faulty.

The coolant light should come on during "bulb prove-out", then go out if everything is normal. Has absolutely nothing to do with the engine operating temp.
