Default ABS/Brakes/TC Lights-Grrrr!

Just got my first Range Rover, it is a 1997 4.6 HSE. When I got it the ABS/Brake/TC light on the dash were stuck on, and only was getting front braking. I pulled and checked all the fuses and relays. Now, when it is running the ABS, and Brake light immediately come on, then the brake light goes out. After a few seconds the Brake light comes back on, with an error message of "low brake fluid", and I get an "ABS fault" error message in my dispaly panel. The brake fluid is not low. But, still only getting the front brakes, no rear brakes, I can tell this by the rust on the back rotors, and the extremely hard braking. Any clues? I would really like to resolve this issue myself. Am wondering if there is any way to test the ABS pump? Any other things I can check, or look for? I would really appreciate any help.

Make sure the pump is running when you turn the key to on. It should run and then turn off. If it does, I would try to first bleed the brakes. There is a very specific procedure for this and it must be followed.
