My ABS & brake lights came on at the same time. I have been driving the truck a month and the brakes work fine. All four disc brake pads have been replaced 6 months ago. All the electrical breakers and break fluid is fine. Can you help me?

Chances are there is a bad brake sensor. Have you had the computer scanned? Most parts stores will do it for free.

Let me know what you find.

It is your abs speed sensor in the rear axle. If your speedometer doesnt work till a certain speed and your odometer isnt working too, that is your problem its all connected

If you are having speedo problems, that could be the problem. You're not going to believe it, but I just went down my driveway and the same thing happened. However, my brake pedal went with it, so I know I blew a brake line. However, if your speedo is working properly, check the sensors.
