Take a look at your brake pads and how high does your e-brake go? Chances are, you just need to do some brake work. I wouldn't fill up your brake fluid either. If it's low, it can indicate a leak or low brake pads. If you system is pretty tight, I would say that the pads are just worn.
I've noticed my ABS light come on because of the e-brake pads needing changed. Remember, just because it's your Antilock Brake System light, it doesn't mean that it's not your braking system that causing it.

i know that my light has been on before after i got my transmission rebuilt. The place that did it broke a sensor. thats a possibility, but doesnt explain the squeaking. just an idea there.
