Hi,

First, make sure the brake fluid is full. If it's low, it can cause this to happen.

The most common cause of these lights being on is a faulty wheel speed sensor. We have two things that can be done to determine where the issue is coming from. The first is to use a scan tool that can read the can-bus system. CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, all the modules are tied together via a few wires. This type of scan tool can retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link showing how it's done:

Another thing you can do is check each of the wheel speed sensors for a signal. All this requires is a voltmeter or multimeter.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Your vehicle has a sensor at each wheel. I attached two pics showing their locations below.
Pic 1 shows the front and pic 2 is the rear.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
