Default 93 dakota/s ABS and P-brake on

ABS and parking brake came on when I started the truck today. Brake pedal seems to be 'soft'(Has a lot of travel before the brakes kick in). So new brakes, sensor, line, more fluid? It has gotten really cold really quick so I don't know whats the issue. Worked just fine two days ago (pedal travel seems the same if not a little more than normal though.

I would hate to do a bleed at this time but since it dropped 30 degrees over night I figure that might have something to do with it. Northern Illinois weather for ya.

You could have had water in the fluid too. But best of good luck hope it's a cheap fix
