Have you checked the level?
Do you have warranty? If you do then take it to the dealer and say,,,,
"Can you fix this please."

I had the light once and it scared the hell outa me because I was also doing spirited driving. Turned out that coolant was leaking out of the adapter from the coolant/fan mod because the clamps weren't far enough up. my mistake..

is it the reservoir you guys refering to that needs to be replaced? does that include the sensor?

im starting to experience this too with semi-spirited driving. its always on the highway, and usually when im cruising at speeds of 85 or so for a few minutes, never when im really pushing or getting on it. if i back off to around 70 itll go away. however, i live a bit further out and now and again when im coming home late i enjoy very spirited trips along the country roads where i am easily braking into triple digits, and there are plenty 110-40 moments and even a few 120-0 stops in there. ive never experienced the light in this situation, which seems odd.
of course my car is just a few thousand out of warranty, given that this is a known issue has anyone tried to get mazda to cover this?

There are two sensors in that location - one is attached to an aluminum filler block for the A/C. Its not that one.
Just unplug the other one and check your coolant when you check your oil.

I saw the light for the first two times today while driving spiritedly. After I short-shifted the light went off.
I wonder how many people that have this issue have higher pressure radiator caps.

add another to the list.
havent seen it recently, but up until 2 months ago or so, i had about a 2-3 mile hill climb to AND from work everyday. when pushing the car up this climb(5-6K rpm and over) i would get the light. light dies 3 seconds after dropping to idle.
never happened anywhere but that one long hill

If it ever surfaces again it will get unplugged. I'm sure its only a matter of time.
