Hi, good afternoon I just wanted to see what you guys think the issue can be so I recently have been having issues with my breaks. So, I replaced the break rotors and break pads then, they started to squeak so I just brushed it off and now I had the abs light blink like crazy as shown in the video and to break I really had to step on the breaks all the way to to get it to start to break. So, I replaced the break booster and it worked for sometime but, every so often the same issue comes on where I have to press down on the breaks all the way and, the traction control light stays on and when the truck loses control it blinks at me “service electronic breaking system” what else could it be thanks in advance (also what can I do to get the low coolant to stay of I’ve replaced the sensor and it always has coolant what else can I do to get rid of that light)

Check the wiring to the speed sensors. I had one of mine get loose rubbing on the tire and kick the abs from working. It may not be the specific answer to your problem but that is where I would recommend beginning.

Step #1 is always to read what specific code is stored in the system. There are multiple different ABS related codes that will trigger the dash warning lights, and you need to see what it is. Otherwise you are just guessing. For example, if the system is detecting a wheel speed sensor it will show a code that states wheel speed sensor circuit and what wheel location it is.
Did the brakes (not breaks) work fine prior to replacing the parts? If the brakes worked fine before (other than I assume being worn out?), you did work on the system, and now you have issues.......most likely the issue is the work you just did. Like maybe something was not installed correctly? A common issue is that when the pads were worn down the caliper pistons are pushed out quite a bit. You have to retract the pistons when installing new pads. I have seen the calipers piston that is exposed get dirty or corroded, and when you push them back in all of that gets wedged inside the caliper and makes the piston stick. The other issue is making sure the slide pins on the caliper brackets are free and not seized up in the same way.
