Default Brake lights on dash!! WTF

I was driving home from my
Parents house. When my brake, vsc, abs, and vsc off lights just all of a sudden came on at once and would go off and on again. Also when the lights were on and I applied the brakes there was a high pitched noise coming from the dash.

Did you check the brake fluid first? The noise is coming from the ABS.

It's only done it that one night. Thank god for that. I check the brake fluid it was due to my pads being really low. So I change my pads and topped of the fluid to the Max line. So hopefully that does it.
