Default couple lights: had em? range of possible reasons

Hey,

Had the ABS/Parking brake light come on and flash and beep a few times yesterday. I know it is a low fluid sensor firing off, either worn pads/rotors dropping the level OR (cringe) a leak. I am pretty sure I don't have a leak as there are no spots under the car (phew). And I think it's about time for new front pads, I also noticed a shutter in the steering wheel braking this morning. I had the front rotors done about 20K miles ago....need new ones again??!! (seems short to me, I don't crush the car driving) Anyway, question is: anyone else had this and what was the remedy.....I'm just trying to get my list of possibilities together so I can compare with what my Indy comes back with tomorrow...
thx,
jk

Default sounds like a plan.........

I have to get my inspection tomorrow, so I'll have this looked at. If the pads/rotors and everything else looks good....I'll be going to module maste route...looks very simple!
thx!
