New H3, engine light problem

The salesman told me when they sit the batterys go dead ,cheap batterys.

Put a big expensive battery in the H3, and guess what, if it is not run for a month or two, it will also be dead. Not saying the batteries are the best, and some are bad.
Problem is the parasitic drain from the number of computers, radio, etc., that must retain some sort of memory that drains these batteries when not started and run for a while. Add more accessories that require a constant drain, and the battery will go down faster.
Dealers are supposed to boost each battery, at least once a month; their failure to do so, is due to negligence on their part.

In answer to the original question, no, sitting in the lot will not cause a coolant system fault. Depending on the fault, it might just require a flush and fill to get all the air pockets out of the engine block. Sounds like when the plant filled it, the tank ran dry and pumped some air into the system.
