To tell you to check coolant level in vehicles cooling system have a look at coolant reservoir tank if it has one when engine cool or you risk getting burnt from boiling water spraying out from the cap. You might have a leak in your cooling system check after topping up coolant if any obvious leaks are occurring while engine is running. Also check fan belt is working and driving water pump and cooling fan is operating .

How do I reset the check coolant level light on a 2000 Cadillac Deville?

There is no way to reset the light , you probably need a new coolant level sensor !
Coolant Level Sensor Description
The coolant level sensor monitors the coolant level in the cooling system and indicates if the coolant is low. This sensor is located at the base of the radiator surge tank and is not serviceable.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL (2)
The IPC receives a discrete input from the engine coolant level switch. The engine coolant level switch is normally closed. When the engine coolant is low, the engine coolant level switch opens. When the IPC receives an open signal from the engine coolant level switch, the IPC displays the message on the DIC.
you have to replace this ,Radiator Surge Tank !

2000 vw beetle 2.0 L, low level coolant light...engine mil code 1256

not the pump but air in the system or a broken wire to the coolant level sensor
that sensor at the top of the radiator tank has to be completely immersed in coolant or the circuit is broken and the light comes on
same effect id the wire to that sensor is broken in the insulation

In the cooler light say on want cause it

in the cooler light say on want cause it. Translation? What causes the coolant light to stay on? A coolant level sensor is mounted on the radiator just below the cap. If the coolant is low the light will come on. If the coolant is filled up and the light is on , you may have a faulty coolant level sensor.
