Its a common problem. I just changed mine and I didn't change the ECT. Try changing the t-stat and o-ring and get the light reset first. That should fix it. If you still get the light, then go for the ECT. I went ahead and completely changed the coolant after that. (optional) I wimped out and got the Volvo coolant.
