Here is a quick copy and paste of a diagnostic chart I posted in anther post.

Here these may help. If needed more info check out the FAQ for the service manual. It has everything.

I believe both lights can be lit up by a bad fuse/ bad power or ground to the ABS module.

Check the fuses around your dash.
I had this problem for over a week. If it is your fuse you also will have no brake lights.
Although I highly doubt you have the same cause for this issue for me I'll tell you what mine was.

A heavy duty Turn signal Flasher that was to much for my trucks electrical system. Blew through 4 fuses and 3 trips to the dealership before we figured it out.

Hey, brother I had the same problem last year. Both brake and abs lights on the dash lit up but brake lights were operational. Took it a shop to check it on their computer and turned out to be a blown fues under the hood not the dash. Good Luck

Or it could be like my truck and it doesn't even have an abs relay, or abs fuse in the PDC! Doh!

Sorry man, the guy did not tell where the fuse was other than under the hood. I figured it was in the fuse/relay box near the batt. Good luck

The FAQ has the fuse box and relay box diagrams.
