Default ABS and Handbrake Warning Light! Please Help!!!

I have a '04 X-type 2.5L Manual and just had coolant system flush and wheel alignment done. After the coolant flush, they also soap downed the engine to clean up spilled coolant.

Once I started the car, I noticed both ABS and Brake lights are on that I've never had before.
The brake light sometimes turns off when I restart the engine but the ABS light is always on no matter what I do.

I'm not sure how the coolant flush and wheel alignment could have caused this problem and how to get this reset if I should.

Any information would be much appreciated.

It's probably a speed sensor in one of the front wheels. You need to get the code that it's throwing to find out for sure.

Default How does the speed sensor break?

Thanks for the tip and I'll have the scanner communicate to retrieve the code.
But how does the sensor break? Could it be related to coolant flush, wheel alignment, or washing down the engine with high water pressure?

Thank you.
