Hi there, first check all the brakes physically, pads retaining clips, hydraulics ABS sensors and wires are ok, the squeal may be just a glazed disc, your pre inspection will determine any mechanical fault. The ABS fault may be a faulty wheel sensor, you will have to check for a fault code, it should determine which wheel is at fault.
