ABS Inop, Low Traction, and Brake light?

Bought the Z after it had been wrecked. Replaced front driver's tie rod and spindle, swapped the bumper and fender, and it's back on the road. However, the ABS Inop, Brake, and Low Traction lights are all on.


The E Brake does not work, dout the wreck has anything to do with that, probably just neglect from the previous owner. Haven't had time to look into the problem lights, but I will tomorrow. Let me know what it could be.

check your ABS sensor connection on the axle. if it is broken or unplugged than it will trigger some of those lights

All of those lights will also come on if the connections on the ground block by the battery are corroded or rusted. I would take off the 10mm nut and clean off all of the connections and see if that solves the problem.
