Default Idiot light meaning?

I have a 96, Z28, convertible. There is a warning light on the dash, which is:

1. Square
2. Arrow pointing Down
3. Perhaps, jiggly water lights at the bottom

Anyone know what this is? The temperature guage is reading normal.

Thanks.

Most likely. Its a very common issue on the LT1. Im pretty sure you can even just unplug it and the light would go away.

except in your case you can just unplug it so you dont need to drain anything
