Good morning,

When the lights come on, it indicates a fault has happened in the ABS and the engine fuel control system. A code is stored for those faults.

The fault need to be read through a scan tool and once you know those codes, a diagnostic needs to be done to determine the failure. Repairs will need to be made and then the lights can be reset and you go on driving with no more issues.

You can go to a parts store and they can read those codes for free. write them down or have them give you a print out. Let us know those codes and we can help with possible failures for you.
