FL ABS and Coolant light

ABS light is on - I believe due to the sensor on the front passenger side... If I only knew where the sensor was or what it looks like... Fuses are ok. I don't know how to diagnose ABS issues, where should I start?
The 'add coolant' light is on also, however my coolant is topped off. What causes this? Is it that little sensor right there by the fill cap?? Where do i start on diagnosing this problem?
any help would be great! thank you!

The coolant level sensor is on top of the radiator. If the wire running to it is damaged or disconnected, or if there is an air bubble at the sensor's tip, the buzzer will go off. Are you using the bleeder screw when you fill the radiator? I'd bleed the system again and check the wiring.

Can't help much with the ABS since neither of my cars have had it, but I would see what the FSM has to say.

I know my "add coolant" light kept coming on and my coolant levels were fine, but the light wouldn't stay on. Come to find out, the sensor wasn't grounded well at all. I grounded it out again and no more light. Hope this HELPS!
