“During a trip from home to store, the dash lights for the ABS and brake system came on without any prior warning.

Therefore, it seems to be most likely an electrical problem. No diagnostic trouble codes (DTCS) are registered in the computer's memory, therefore no information exists by which to diagnose the problem. …”
