bleed coolant properly, if its still going off the connector for the sensor could be undone or the sensor itself may be bad. instructions on testing it are in the fsm.

The warning is for low coolant in the radiator, so if you added coolant to the overflow bottle it won't help.

Bleed the system. Make sure the sensor is good (it's just a conductor, I believe) and make sure the wire going to it is totally intact.
