ABS light and brake light

Confused here guys. Everything was fine, TRG. Then I went and hopped in it when I came out of kmart and the parking brake light comes on when I start moving, then ABS light. Both are staying on now. Any ideas? Brakes seem fine.

Mine does that when the brake fluid level gets low. When was the last time that you serviced the brakes? It could also be the ABS sensor on the rear end. Only thing that stinks is that these trucks dont have a abs system that can be diagnosed through a scanner. You would have to ground out the orange/black wire in the glove box area and count the abs light flashes. But thats only if its something to do with the abs system

check the resivoir to see if it looks low. I need to do pads and shoes so it was running a little low, so i just added some so that i could get my cruise control back. When i filled it up it turned off the lights

Gets my vote, unless the fluid level sensor is bad.
