    When my ABS light had come on in my car I ended up being my hub bearings causing it to come on, so i would suggest checking those out and welcome.

    Welcome.

    The light indicates that the abs has been disabled due to a fault. The most common cause seems to be a bad speed sensor in a wheel hub, but you should get it scanned to be sure.

    Low oil light is a typically a sign of low oil or low oil pressure. You might wanna get that checked out to be safe.
