Change the sensor on the overflow bottle or if you want to keep track of the level yourself just unplug the sensor on the cap. Yes it's common.

Take a wire brush or some sandpaper and clean the contact bars on the bottom of the sensor first. They usually corrode, and it is cheaper to try than buying a new one for no reason.

Yep, I have cleaned my own 3 or 4 times and still haven't replaced it once (250,000+ miles).
