Question Break and ABS warning lighs on!

Both the break and ABS warning lights are on but the break fluid, pads (thin but has 10-20k left) and the actual breaking of the van are within specs. Any ideas? Is the vehicle safe?

If just the ABS light is on then the car is safe to drive as long as you understand that the brakes will lock up under extreame braking.
If the Brake light is on then there is a problem somewhere in the actual brake system and it should be checked out completely. Is it safe to drive? That completely depends on what is wrong. There are things that can trigger the Brake warning light and the system be relitively safe and other things that can be very dangerous.
I would reccomend that you take the car someplace that has the ability to scan the car for Barke and ABS codes to find out what has failed.
