Default ABS, Hill Desent, low pedal?

01 disc II SE7 Problem: ABS, Hill desent, and Traction Control light come on when brakes are applied, and low / no pedal when brakes applied with medium to hard pressure. History: Calipers, rotors, and pads replace 2 years ago with less than 12k miles put on since. Problem has just started. Local shops can't find problem, and I have check the system over. Even sprayed vaccum lines looking for a leak. Seems like booster is bad but no rust or damage seen. I have heard the problem could be air in the lines, abs module, or booster. I do not have money to burn by just throwing parts at it, so any help or guidance would be great. Thank you for your help.

I HATE turning wrenches, I have better things to do.
Plus I have no patience anymore.
I do it out of necessity.

As for any codes, the ABS is not showing any, Which is why I dont think its the module.

First thing you need to do would be a full 2 quart DOT 4 brake flush after first checking your current level and check all the lines for leaks.
As for the ABS, you need to find a shop that has a scanner able to read ABS codes on your truck, few can, and they can only be read when they are on.
If you can not find a shop with a scanner, buy a 3 Amigos scanner for $200 from RSWsoultions.com and do it yourself.
If you want some help, lets talk.
