        as for the abs light, first check your third brake light to see if the bulb is burnt out. if it is replace it and it will shut the abs light off..

        if its not the bulb in the light, have your wheel sensors checked.

        as for the ebrake light.... id say its another sensor.

              My ebrake light was kept coming on for about 2 months while I was driving but it just quit coming on and went back to normal and been like that for about 3 months now. I would not worry about it if it is not engaged.

                Look at the wheels, they should be 235/55/16, 245/50/16/ or 275/45/17 (unless theyre 18's then I dunno what the size would be) if they're not there is your reason.

                  lets put it this way you car probably has numerically taller gears i.e. 3.73's and the reluctor ring was probably never pressed back on when teh gears were installed so thats why the ABS light stays on, thats my problem but youd e have to oull the rearend cover to tell either way

                    maybe. thats not always the case though. our cars are getting old and things break. id put money on it being a sensor gone bad. its a pretty common thing with these cars.

                      are the sensors hard to change? and are they on each wheel?
