3 Amigos and BRAKE
 
Hey guys the other day i was rolling down the hill at about 10-15mph leavin work and went to toss my big stupid gym bag in the back. Little did i know the strap was under the parking brake. It ripped up the brake and the car shuttered to a halt. Needless to say i felt like a retard. 3 amigos came on and the BRAKE indicator. Cant get them to go away now. However the car still rides like a dream. No feelings, noises, smells, or puddles. Gauge keeps giving me the trouble code and its for the amigos. 1590 or whatever. Any ideas how to get rid of these codes? Or what to do?

There are very few shops that have a specialty scanner that can read ABS fault codes. Most people buy a 3 Amigo scanner from RSWsoultions.com and do their own work.
As for the brake light also being on, when was the last time you checked your brake fluid level, that and the E-Brake being on are the only 2 reasons for that light to be on.

The brake light could also be on because the parking brake switch is stuck or broken. The ABS light is on because you confused the hell out the poor thing. :-)

You'll need to follow Mikes advice on that one.

How are your brakes and rotors?
I had a 3 Amigo/Brake issue like the one you describe, which was resolved by a front pad and rotor replacement(apparently a vibrating ABS sensor at front right).
