Check the fluid level in the master cylinder...mine was on and someone suggested I check the level. Sure enough it was low and causing the light to come on. I topped it off and she's right as rain.

Not necessarily going to fix your problem...but it's a start!

The red Brake light turns on when the brake fluid level is low. The yellow ABS light turns on when there is a fault.

Check the speed sensor on rear axle. Take it out and clean off any metal particles, etc. May fix your problem.
