Brake messages V70-XC70 2007

I'm getting these two messages:
Brake Assist Service Required
ABS/Anti-skid Service Required

Can this be serviced DIY ?
Where to start?

Brake messages V70-XC70 2007

The two errors are related, the second one is the important one. Your ABS light is most likely turned on. A scanner is needed to determine the exact problem. It could be something simple like a wheel speed sensor has been knocked out of alignment or a broken wire. The code will tell you which wheel. Even a generic scanner should give you diagnostics, try an auto parts store for a free scan.

ABS keeps the wheels from locking up under braking as well as limiting wheel slip under acceleration.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
