Bad sensor? Low Brake fluid , Brake and Trac off alarms
 
i'm hoping this is only a bad sensor , but after clipping a pothole i got all 3 of these warning lights at the same time : Low Brake Fluid, Brake and Trac Off.
i could see the brake and trac off lights only being a sensor, but the low brake fluid also is what i cant figure out ....any ideas?

thanks

Did you actually check the brake fluid and make sure it was still full? Sounds like an ABS wheel sensor or the wiring for it. If the wire gets disconnected it can make those warnig lights go on. I have also seen a bad battery make the ABS and brake warning light come on also. If you have an ABS problem, the traction control will not work until the ABS is fixed.

My low brake fluid light came on when I tugged on the connection underneath it. Check it, unplug/plug to see if goes away.

i was leaning towards it being the abs sensor....checked brake fluid and level was good. is an ABS sensor difficult to replace?

Low fluid sensor
 
Where was the sensor located?
