Try cycling hte key on/off 3 times to see what codes are present. Chances are it will be a P0500. Meaning vehicle speed sensor...

I had my brake/abs lit and it turned out all three VSS were bad, two in front, one in rearend. It was bout $150 in sensors and all is well again. I bench tested the sensors and while they ohmed out correctly, when I would shake them, there was an intermittant open curcuit.

With the dash lights illuminated, your ABS portion of the brakes are non functional. Before my lights stayed continuously lit (after I cut the front sensor wires, I would have intermittant ABS function, at below 5mph. Having the abs engage at low speeds almost caused me to rear end a couple of vehicles.
