What happens when you first turn on the key? Does the led blink several times, stop blinking, and then several seconds later start blinking again? If so, try the following. The coolant level sensor in the main coolant tank can fail or get a coating on the probes that makes it act like the tank level is low. The 2 wires to the coolant level sensor in the main coolant tank can get an internal break near the tank or the contacts that plug into the tank can corrode or get dirty.

Thus far I've followed Bentley instructions, the raised rear-end bong, and front-end siphon and refill. I disconnected the two radiator hoses and did multiple clean water flush and drains.
