The ABS and brake lights came on while driving. Is there anything in particular to look at before taking it in?

No fluid leaks and fluid level is good.

Check on the rear end, is there an electrical part on the top of the differential?

I will look up the test proceedure for your RABS valve later..in the mean time see if you can get the brake codes read...usually this valve, but it's worth checking first!

Take the lead off the valve and check with an ohm meter, here are the values for front and rear sensors.

If you find you need to replace the valve, clean the dirt from around it before you take it out!
