Default My AU dash light came on...wats it mean

I jumped in the car today an noticed a light on ..I've never seen it before an don't know what it means,it's like a box with a fan in it??
It's on the left side third from the top...in the rows of lights left an right of the Speedo.
I don't think it's low on water light ..that's the water spray looking light down the bottom

in a high series cluster it would be the
low engine coolant level warning light
so check the coolant level

Same issue currently on my AU XR8, I think its just a faulty coolant level sensor.

common fault was the coolant sensor at bottom of overflow bottle - pull plug and bridge connection and recheck light....
