Hello,

Anytime the ABS or brake light gets illuminated, it signals an issue within those systems.
Best course of action would be to get the ABS codes scanned. This can indicate what might be the issue. It could simple as a sensor that is loose or defective or issue with the ABS module.

Here is a guide on how to check the codes:
