You need to have the ABS system checked for diagnostic codes. You need to find a place that can read the codes. That ABS system does not have a way to check codes without a higher end scan tool. It could also be something fairly simple. Worn out brake material, low fluid, small leake, bad master cylinder. There are a lot of other things that it can be besides the ABS system.

Thank you for your help I did have the car scaned today (monday) with a snap on scaner it comes up has a code 11 ecu fault . I was hoping for maybe check this or that and go pick this up at the used parts.
frt. pads are ok ... but ... I will keep looking the car needs to get me by for a while yet.

It's the ABS module that you should be scanning for ABS codes. That would have nothing to do with the ECU. Powertrain codes won't help you at all.
