Truck has 195,000 on it. after it has been running for a couple of min the abs light and the parking brake light both come on, brake fluid is full, has new front hubs with abs sensor in them (last year), and just put on new front rotors and pads. Is there a sensor in the rear brakes that is setting off both of them?

Yes the rear has sensors, but seeing you just had front pads installed, I'd look for a loose or broken wire in the front first. I've installed front pads with the sensors and thought I got them installed right, come to find out they were not making good connection on the pads.

Santa fe 2001 abs and hand brake lights came on .what is the problem

It could be a problem with either system. The ABS uses the standard hydraulic brake system in addition to the ABS components.
You would need to get the ABS system checked out if the parking brake is off and the master cylinder is full of fluid.

My Parking brake light flashes

Check to make sure that you have ample brake fluid in the brake fluid resovoir. If it is full and you still have the light on, you may have to get it scanned for computer codes, or ABS codes.

My abs light and my red parking light is on steady what kind of problem do i have

Hello treedy22.
Your car has a switch inside the brake master cylinder reservoir that will activate when the fluid level gets low. This will turn on your red brake light and deactivate the ABS system. That is why both lights are lit.
Check the fluid level, refill with DOT3 fluid ONLY. It may take a couple of minutes for the light to turn out as sometimes the switch sticks in the bore inside the reservoir..
Then you need to find out why the level is low. Check your braking system for leaks or excessively worn brake parts.
Hope your repair goes well.

My brake light stays on and the fluid is full. what can i do to fix it

is it the abs light or the brake light there could be a couple different things wrong with it. if it's the abs light your abs system is acting up and it will need to be checked out. if it's the brake light then your brake fluid level sensor could be bad, or your parking brake switch could be going out, and there's other things that could be wrong with it.
