Both, low level and temp sensor, are somehow linked via relay3.

Low level is only connected to relay 3, still can trigger the LED. So
pin4 of relay 3 seems to be an output for the LED.
Instead of being connected to the LED directly, it loops back into the
temp signal from G2 (fusebox K4 -> D29).

The temp gauge on the wiring diagram is also shown to include some kind
of controller,
My assumption: The LED might be triggered by pulsed "high temp" values
coming from relay3. Maybe, these are not long enough to make the needle
move.
Isn´t that the purpose: Showing low coolant albeit correct temp.

My tip: Replace/pull relay3. Then continue test on the low level sensor
line.

P.S: As a german I am proud of myself remembering how to use "albeit"
