While I can't say that slip light + ABS is ALWAYS an indication of low brake fluid, I can say that low fluid WILL cause this. It may not be the only thing. It happened to me and to many others here.

When low fluid causes the system to have problems pushing the pistons all the way out of the calipers so the pads can contact the rotor, this combo of lights will occur.

Several of us here know that topping out the brake fluid reservoir fixes this most common example of that light combination. Since it is a quick and inexpensive fix, it is worth trying before you assume that you have something worse wrong.

Just a suggestion. With respect, it is NOT BS.
