Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools and parts required for repair.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the engine off.
Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Scan and Address Error Codes

Tools Required: OBD-II scanner
Using the OBD-II scanner, connect it to the vehicle's diagnostic port.
Retrieve and note down all error codes.
Address the most critical code first based on severity.

3. Inspect and Clean Battery Connections

Tools Required: Wrench set, battery terminal cleaner
Inspect battery terminals for corrosion.
Clean terminals with a battery terminal cleaner.
Tighten connections securely.

4. Check Fuses

Tools Required: Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers
Locate the fuse box (refer to the owner's manual for location).
Remove fuses related to dashboard lights and check for continuity.
Replace any blown fuses with new ones of the same amperage.

5. Brake Fluid Level Check

Tools Required: Brake fluid tester (optional)
Open the hood and locate the brake fluid reservoir.
Check the fluid level; if low, top up with the manufacturer-recommended brake fluid.
Inspect for any leaks in brake lines.

6. ABS Sensor Inspection

Tools Required: Multimeter
Locate ABS wheel speed sensors at each wheel.
Disconnect the sensor connector and measure the resistance; it should typically be within the manufacturer's specified range.
Clean any dirt or debris from the sensor area and reconnect.

7. Test Drive

Reconnect the battery and start the vehicle.
Take the vehicle for a short test drive to see if warning lights remain illuminated.
