Hi, Can anyone tell me how to test the coolant level sending unit on a Cat 3126 C7 engine in a Newmar Dutch Star 2001 Thanks John
 
Coolant level is a chassis (cooling system) function rather than engine or coach brand. Is your Dutch Star on a Spartan or Freightliner chassis?

I'm not familiar with your particular rig, but typically the sensor is just a switch, so is either open or closed and can be tested with an ohmeter. The sender wiring can be tested by disconnecting from the sensor (should be open) and shorting the wires together to simulate a closed sensor switch.
