Default Help please!!

Ok so ive never had all these lights on at once.... I dont know why im having problems. The car runs extremely well and strong, well heres the problem.

ABSNONOP light is on, Brake light is on, SES light is on, Low coolant light is on, Security light comes on for the seond time this month.

So to what i do know..

Low coolant light comes on because a sensor is bad or something, but the coolant is fine from what i can see when you look into the radiator it has been on for over a year and i have never had a problem... Could there be more of a problem there?..

SES light has been on, and i've talked to quite a few guys on here and i still havent narrowed the source of the reason that turns on.. but when it turns on it could be 30 seconds after i start the car or 5 min, it just does it somewhere inbetween those and the both fans turn on high.. cold motor or warm doesnt matter..

Security light. ive read that its the VAP that i need to bypass.. i have the second set of keys that have never been used... can i just switch to those?

ABSNONOP. have no clue why this is on.. normal driving conditions, second time it has been on in a month... tryed to see if ABS wasnt working... and it is.... no locking up of the tires...

and the first time the brake light stayed on after i released it to drive, the car is a M6. I applyed the ebrake a few times and released it, to see if it would turn off but it never did...

the brake light could be on if your brake fluid is low or on some cars if you have a brake light bulb that blew out.

Other than that, my brake light is on too, and I don't know why... But I also have abs inop, tcs off, and the ses light. my low coolant light comes on sometimes because I still need to do a good coolant flush because the motor I installed had a lot of rusty old crap in the coolant passages. If your coolant is dirty it can cause that light to come on, or just take out the sensor and clean it. See if that helps.

as far as the ses light goes, you need to scan for codes.

abs in op light I think has something to do with a wire on/in/around the rear end maybe someone who knows what they are talking about can help.
