Default Brake light on, ABS light always on.

Everytime I start the car the abs light is on, but I know that I need a hub assembly with a sensor, so that might be the problem for that. But the Park brake light comes on every other time I start the car. Is this a sensor? Any common issues with this car about that? thanks.

I've also noticed ABS faults can generate the BRAKE! warning at start up as well, but they can be inter-related to a lot of other systems as well, so nothing is for certain.

You should probably start by replacing that hub with abs sensor your spoke of to rule that out. Brake fluid level should be checked as it can certainly trip BRAKE! light if its low. Plenty to more to consider after that.

Best bet is to get the codes pulled - you will need a scanner capable of pulling ABS codes.

Both are one of the same.
