Default Brake and ABS lights on cluster

Well last night my ABS light came on and then shortly thereafter my brake light came on. I have no idea what to check to clear the two lights. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well it is early morning and I should have made sure I had a cup of coffee in me before I made the post. Search function is a wonderful thing.

At each wheel, there is an ABS sensor (detects wheel rotation speed used by the ABS controller); these sensors can become dirty with brake dust. Remove the tire/rim, and check these sensors for breakage (maybe a rock got to it), or dirty, or wire damage.

Oh, and "Go Gators"!
