Hello, I'm Danny.

This means you have ABS and check engine trouble codes stored in your vehicles computer. First thing I suggest is to have the code(s) checked.If you don't have access to a code reader/scanner your local auto parts stores have a tool loaner program and can rent you one.Some auto parts stores will check your codes for free. Here is a tutorial showing what is involved retrieving codes:

Once you have the codes read get back to us with the code numbers and we will be happy to help properly diagnose. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
