There's a float switch in the coolant reservoir that is likely just 'stuck'. You may be able to deduce where it is and free it with a piece of wire or similar 'tool'?

It is also possible there is an open circuit in the wiring for the float switch for some reason.

Welcome!

Thanks ill try that i was wondering if i put a resistor across the wire then pulled it out it might reset it on the board?

If the float does not unstick, you can simply unplug the harness connector and install a jumper across the terminals. The switch is "open" with the low coolant level and the jumper will default the switch to closed and turn off the low coolant warning.
