You can disconnect the coolant level sensor it’s located in the expansion tank and see if the warning message disappears you may have to clear the fault via a scan tool though.
If it is this it’s so easy to replace.
I believe if you're replacing the sensor altogether, the coolant reservoir does need drained entirely. My stupid sensor likes to pop up every now and then to tell me to top my coolant up, but the levels are absolutely fine so I'm just ignoring it for now.
Assuming its the level sensor try cleaning all the gunge off the tips of the sensor if your replacing it you only need to remove around half a tankful I used a syringe to syphon off the amount needed to change mine & you need to replace it with the same part a Bosch or Cartier as some cheaper OEM parts won't be compatible
