Coolant buzzer fun

Alright as you may remember my AST started leaking a week ago. I got my new AST and installed it, the leak is now gone but the coolant buzzer remains. It buzzes until the car is warmed up, then stops. Reading a few of the older posts, a few members suggested that it is simply air in the coolant system that is tricking the coolant sensor into thinking it needs coolant.

Is there any way to bleed the system out of air or do I have to live with this for a week or more? I am fairly certain my water temperatures are fine. However I am not sure if this is the result of a bad coolant sensor or not, I am not even sure where it is. My car has 63k miles and is completely stock though, I don't think the sensor could go bad that early.

Thoughts?

Make sure your overflow tank has coolant in it. Also, in the morning when she is cold pull the cap off and check to see if she needs to be topped up. Top it up and everything should be fine. If it keeps beeping because of air pockets it may take another morning fill up. Just keep an eye on it for a while. When I do a coolant flush I check for like an entire week untill I feel good.(just cause I'm always overly cautious. If you keep having problems just double check to see if you have a leak. I had a small leak because I used the stock sucky spring clamps and coolant leaked out over about a month and a half. Got a better clamp and so far so good.
