Default abs light, brake light and traction control light are on

The abs light and brake light and the traction control light came on yesterday. What is the most common cause of this?

check brake fluid level.


I have 2012 Nissan 370Z . that if brake fluid is low, not even by a whole lot this will cause the traction control light to come on. two different animals 370Z and F150. but adding 3oz of brake fluid shut the light off on the Z. after that ???

The computer detected a fault in the system.
Use a scan tool to retrieve the codes.
Then go to the flowchart for the code you have.
or report codes back here and wait for answers.
