Hello Alfred,
The dash warning indicators are showing problems picked up by your vehicles on board computers.
The first step to understanding what all these warnings relate to is having a diagnostic reader reveal the codes that have been registered. This reader is called a OBDII code reader.
Some auto parts stores provide a free diagnostic summary. I think Auto Zone is one of these retailers that will provide this free service.
After you have the codes go to Repair Pal here:
OBD II Trouble Code Chart to find the descriptions for your fault codes.

you have a damaged, dirty or defective wheel speed sensor. This can only be determined by an experiened mechanic. Hopefully this helps

it has front and rear disc brakes, disc brakes are very simple to change out. Most disc brakes have two bolts that hold them on, one on the bottom one on the top on the inside of the brake caliper, they may be an allen head, or just a bolt. Remove them counter-clockwise. After you remove the two bolts, lift up and away on the caliper and the whole assembly will come off. Once you pull the assembly off you will see the two pads, one of them is driven by a piston, the other one is fixed. Remove the fixed one, they just pop off (have little metal clips you may have to slide the pad off). Take a C-clamp or something comparable to squeeze with, place it on the back of the caliper and on the old pad thereby squeezing the cylinder back into the piston, once you squeeze the cylinder back into the piston, it will give you room needed for thicker new brake pads. Piston should retract with the c-clamp fairly easy, shouldn't be a whole lot of resistance. Remove c-clamp after you get it to retract and remove old pad. Put new pad on, just like you took the old ones off. All four are basically the same to change out, they all have two bolts holding them on. You pull those, get the pistons to retract and replace the worn pads, put them back on, line up holes, put bolts back in... and your good to go. When you get back in the car and turn the key on, you may have to pump the brakes a few times.
