Hi,

If I understand, you hear a ding and then the ABS light comes on as well as the brake light. Is that correct? If so, the first thing I need you to check is the brake fluid level. If it is low enough, it will set an ABS light / Brake light. Let me know that first. If it is full, chances are there is a faulty wheel speed sensor.

As far s the low voltage, can you tell me exactly what is happening? If there is low voltage due to a battery issue or alternator, that can cause several different components to malfunction.

Let me know. Also, if you what, here is a link that explains how to test an alternator. If you have a chance, do this and let me know the results.

Let me know what you find.

Good morning,

Low voltage from a bad battery or failing charging system will cause the light to come on.

I would start by load testing the battery, checking the charging system, and then if the light still comes on, check it for codes.
