What is this light

It turned on me while waiting at the light. And I don't have a manual at home, so can someone tell me please and thank you. I'm guessing coolant but I wanna be sure

Yep - TPMS.

Bad news is it might not mean a tire is low. I have one that comes on when the tires get warm and I don't have a pressure issue. I have a bad TPMS..

I think they blink when the pressure is low, if it stays on constantly means that a TPMS is defective or needs to be activated.

I think this light is a waist of time. When i had my stock wheels, that light only came on when the TPMS sensor was broken.

Mine don't do that. They stay steady and my sensors apparently work just fine.

Unless you find one significantly lower than all the rest (and indicating a clear problem), try setting all your tires to around 38 lbs. and drive it a while to see if it goes away. Sometimes they don't reset right away if you set them right to the exact pressure, so I usually overshoot them all for a day or so until the light goes out, then I reset the pressure down to spec. This typically happens at the start of winter when it gets cold, or else when I've had a leak.

BTW, I have to say it's rather funny (and perhaps a sign of the our culture these days) that the OP took the time to photograph the problem and post in online and wait for a response, when he could have download an Owner's Manual (for free) in less time and looked it up himself

I'm in Canada and swap in tires on plain rims in the winter. I don't have TPMS sensors on that set of wheels. The light flashes for the first minute or so after an engine start and then stays steady for the rest of the trip.

Not sure what it does when pressure is low.

Make a screen name and you're set. You can also download the FSM for free too.

I hate that light, I have aftermarket wheels and I don't have TPMS. Maybe I'll get some one day!
