Code 13 is for driver side front wheel sensor open or shorted. Look for any damage to the sensor or the wiring.If ok it may need a new wheel speed sensor.Was any work done before this light came on or did it just pop on out of the blue?

Hello!

It just appeared out of the blue yesterday afternoon. I checked my brake fluid, and it was a little low, (and I mean a "hair" low).. I did put a little fluid in.. but it didn't make a difference.

The ABS light is tied into the actual ABS system, if the fluid is low the"brake" light will come on.L/F wheel sensor issue
