If yoiur ABS light and Hand Brake light are on, Have it checked.

The battery light, do the same, it may have a charging problem,,,

Bring it to a Advanced auto and have them check for trouble codes.

SOURCE: hi the abs light has

hello andre..... when the abs light comes on it is usually do to a bad sensor. In order to check and see which sensor is bad you have to put the car up in a lift and test each one. IF you still have the antilock braking action occurring you know it is only a bad sensor. If there is no more automatic pumping of the brakes in a hard stop the antilock brake system is bad. THE good news is the brakes will still work, you just have to pump them yourself. Joe

SOURCE: 2006 Mini. Air Bag light

With mini's you can get the error code if you use a scan tool. Some shops would let you borrow one. Once you have retrieve the error code you can accurately diagnose the problem The error however does not necessarily the part related to the code is faulty. There could be problems with the wiring or the connectors.
The air bag light has its own bulb but it is installed in one panel. Removing the light would of course would prevent the indicator to light up.
In some cases wiring was disturbed under the seat causing the problem sometimes if the seat was vacuumed underneath. A disconnected sensor would cause the light to turn on.

SOURCE: ABS, ASC, Handbrake, Airbag lights lit on dash, speedometer now working and fuel gauge playing silly beggars too

The abs,Asc,Handbrake all this is related to most likely a sensor that has gone out is not functioning properly. I would not drive this myself, especially with the air bag light on as if computer is throwing these signals out, you do not want to take the chance of air bag accidentally going off. Most this I am sure can be fixed at dealer. They will hook up there fancy equipment diagnostic machine, and reset the computer. Worst case is there might be a sensor that has to be replaced. This could be also a short in wire harness. Bottom line take it in and have them hook up to machine. This will pin point problem, because next step would be car could automatically shut down.

Svs, abs. no trac, and perf shift lights

Trac control and ABS lights come on usually when one of your ABS wheel sensors is either bad and needs replacing or corroded and just may need cleaning. This happened to me. It was my front left abs sensor. they replaced it and al the lights went out and all good now. I also bought an OBDII that plugs into your car and the computer tells the OBDII whats wrong and what sensor it is. You also get the option to erase the codes and put out some or all the lights on your dash. Some times a glitch will light a light on the dash and resetting or erasing it with the OBDII corrects the problem. Hope this helps. God Bless :O)

Toyota Pasoo ABS light is not turning off. Hi, i have recently bought Toyota Pasoo 2007 (reconditioned japan) and now its ABS light is not turning off even i have checked the break oil level which shows...

The ABS light will not set because of fluid level the red brake light will. Usually an ABS light is set because either the solenoid is faulty, BCM (Body control module) is not functioning properly(not to likely) or there is excessive wear to the brake pads. Solenoid and or BCM can be simply one of the ABS Fuse's. There is one in the engine compartment fuse box and one in the fuse box contained withinor below the dash panel on the drivers side.

Hi, I have a 1992 Mazda capella cargo. I have just had a guy tell me the ABS is not working on the car. Firstly does it have ABS because there is no warning light on the dash. Secondly if there is ABS...

If you're not a mechanic, turn your ignition key on but don't start the car, all of your warning lights should come on. If you have ABS you should see a yellow light that says ABS, once you start the car all the light should go out within a few seconds.If you are having problems with your ABS, the yellow light should be on.

most of the time it is a wheel bearing going out you should have it scanned to be sure. If it is a bearing the scan will also tell you the witch side the bearing is out.
