The radiator light is low coolant. It probably lost coolant somewhere along the line and wasnt refilled correctly or is still losing it. Check for leaks and refill at the thermostat housing to make sure no bubbles exist in the system. Careful if you have the all plastic intake manifold when replacing the thermostat. It will crack if you torque the bolts too much.

The ABS light is probably a bad ABS sensor. Problem is, which one? You can check to see if you have a cracked one and go from there.

i checked the fluid seems to be ok. what is the correct way to refill?
Could the abs light be on because i have bigger tires in the back then the front?

Thanks For the Help

How much bigger are the tires in the back?

It may shoot it if you have staggered rims much larger than the diameter of the ones in the front and vice versa, (I think.)

Bad abs sensor and a bad coolant level sensor.

Open the cover on the coolant tank and look for your level sensor. It looks like a round plastic washer on a shaft. It should be floating at the side of your fill opening. If it's not floating at the top and you have coolant up to the cold fill line then your coolant mixture is probably the issue. Mine did the same thing after a few years so I flushed the coolant and it took care of the light issue for me.
