The coolant pressure switch (mounted in a line just forward of the coolant tank) appears to be connected in parallel with the coolant level switch. If you have low coolant and no pressure, you get a warning light. If you get low coolant while you have system pressure, no warning light. It apparently allow the coolant level to be a bit lower before you get a warning while you are driving.
