Best way is to fix the problems. For the ABS light, you probably have a bad wheel speed sensor. Go to AutoZone and have them scan your ECU for codes - you may have some logged and they could point to your problem. As for the e-brake light, that's triggered when the handle is pulled. You may just be able to adjust its "rest" position or clean a contact to turn that off.
