Default Brake and ABS lights are on

My brake light and ABS lights appeared today on my '02 SC430. Can anyone tell me what this might mean and the solution?

Thanks

First, do not drive the car.
Second, read the owners manual.
Third, do you see any fluid leaking under the car.

Report back with your findings.

No liquid is leaking. I read the manual. I'll know more tomorrow. It could be the Skid Control Unit, which I will not get from Lexus, but will have them or Toyota calibrate.

Could be the brake switch (hope that’s your issue, easy fix). Well know issue that needs replacement of the switch itself. Heard that you can secure the brake SW in your local auto stores. There is a DIY here someplace.

What about the wheel-slip sensors for the ABS system?
