To the OP, please let me know when you figure this one out! Are your lights back on yet?

no they had not as of late last night. i found a gravel road to drive down at 30mph and slam the brakes. ABS worked. then slammed the gas and the TC worked. then found a nice steep dirt road to test the downhill decent on and it worked. peddle feels firm but not rock hard. feels the way it should.

i am hoping that a proper brake flush was what was needed to solve the light issues
