ABS and BRAKE light is on...what is the cause?
 
Several things can cause, most probable is a wheel speed sensor.
 
Fluid WAS low, but I topped it off with some fresh fluid.
 
Funny...even if the e brake was on the abs light wouldn't be on.
 
Jack up the truck and look for excessive play on the front bearings of the wheels.
Mine had it and it ruined the abs sensor. had to install new bearing and sensor
 
I ordered them from Rockauto for about $130 each. The hardest part about replacing them was removing the old hub from the knuckle. I used a small torch to heat and expand the knuckle, and a few good hits with the BFH, and they came out.
 
Mine comes on every now & then. Took it to the stealership (under warranty) & they said they couldn't make it come on, so I would have to bring it in while the light was still on. Mine usually goes off after turning the key off & back on a couple of times.

funny mine are on also for a long time now and have switched out wheel sensors twice. Still on. I think it has to do with the tipm module. Along with that my left front turn signal doesn't blink and has no power going to it. I also replaced the front hubs with new ones from rock auto and put all new brake fluid in also. Me brake fluid turn black and dirty after only about 300 miles of driving and I wasn't driving hard either.

I also used the wildwood brake fluid that tony sent me and I flushed out all the old fluid when I put all new rebuilt calipers on. Like I said "not even 300 miles later the fluid is black.

i drove with that "problem" several years...
think i solved it , i replaced the whole brake fluid "dispensor" (sorry for my French , lol) , it cost about 60$ at the shop , its been a couple off weeks now , and the brakelight stays off ! ! ! :rock:
 
Yeah this is mostly an 06 thing I've noticed. They also have the glitchy tach issue as well. :( Hope you find the cure
 
It is fixed. I took it to jtsvp and had tony put on some needed wheel hub bearings, rotors and pads.
I highly recommend the rotor and pad combo that tony has. It seems to be the perfect combo for out 10's.

I tried replacing all that. Bought the rotors and rebuilt calipers from tony and put ceramic pads on. Bought new hubs also at same time and didn't help. Now my abs light is on also but that happened recently.
