It sounds like your radiator tank (the clearish yellow one) is just a hair low on fluid and just enough that when you turn a corner or the right bump is all that's needed for the low fluid light to come on

Have a diagnostic scan ran on it. Sounds like a PCM problem.
It has nothing to do with the battery. Some check engine lights look like an engine and could be mistaken for a water tank light.
Hope this helps. Master tech 40 yrs.

It is an on board computer generated light. Mine in my 2001 chevy is on, my mechnic checked it and though it will not go off, it is nothing to worry about in my car. They need to hook up this little comouter chip thingy to run a diagnostic and they will get a code telling them the probable cause.

Try to reset the computer ...by disconnecting the battery for about 15 seconds.
If it comes back you may have a sensor problem and then get it checked out.

Not at all uncommon your water level sensor in the side tank of the radator has failed easy to install do it when the engine is cold held in with wire clip pull clip off carefull not to loose the clip. pull and twist to get out install wire clip back on the radatior and push the new sensor back in until it clicks.

Could be your window washer fluid, or your engine may be overheating i guess.
