The ABS system with throw a error code in the ECU. Get your codes read. It should tell you where the problem is.

^What he said, but realize that not all code readers will show chassis codes. If your code reader says NO CODES then go somewhere with a better reader.

Also, there is an excellent thread on this over in the Troubleshooting section. The short story is that many different things can cause these lights to come on. In my case, it was a faulty ABS unit, which is pricey. Hopefully for you it is only a blown fuse.
