dude not, safe brake are the best thing a car can have without them your DEAD. check the level of you fluid, what it looks like (Dirty or Clean) then See if you have any leaks on your brake lines where they meet your Calipers. How hard is your Pedel? the booster could be failing on it but i wouldnt just jump to that conclusion. Let us know what you figure out but look around yourself before you take it to a shop.

Pad wear and associated low brake fluid level could be triggering the Brake light, but the ABS light indicates a seperate problem IMO.

let me guess, when the ABS, TRC off and ebrake light are on, your cruise control doesn't work?

apparently it's been narrowed down to BMC or accummulator on jzs147.com.au

the techs at my work are trying everything they have to track down an old school Toyota reader to see if they can scan the codes. but none of thier plugs match up.

but as soon as i find out, i will let you know. cause chances are, yours are the same code
