Modern cars are pretty good at diagnosing themselves. Get thee an OBD scanner and see what the car thinks is wrong. You can buy a scanner for <$50 (or up to several $1000s) or borrow/rent one at most auto parts stores.

And, yes, something as "weird" as brake fluid level can trip all sorts of alarms. In this case, I suspect a bad/misaligned wheel sensor. See what the car thinks.

That's not asphalt. That's what left of my Brake pads.
