Add coolant light is coming on but its full
I was driving and went to park and my coolant light came on so I went and bought some antifreeze and added it. It went close to full so I figure I am good and start driving. The light comes on again maybe 2 minutes later so I pull over and check and this time fill it until its full. So start to drive again it came on again and stayed on. Car isnt overheating or anything. Is the sensor bad or what could it be ? Thanks

Just re-read your post and it does seem as if your losing coolant if I'm reading it right.You mention adding coolant twice I believe.
Check your hoses,coolant cap,...etc for any leaks.
Also check your oil for any coolant contamination and also your coolant for oil contamination.if you have any mixing of the two I might suspect a head gasket failure...but since the car isn't running bad or over heating...that hopefully isn't your problem.
Good luck.
