As your brake pads wear down the brake fluid level in your brake master cylinder

will gradually get lower

If you have checked each wheel to see if it is wet on the backside and they are all dry, the master cylinder may be leaking into the power booster. The only indication you might have is if the booster is rusting directly under the master cylinder.

What is wrong when the abs and brake light come on?

NEED BRAKE INSPECTION POSSIBLY NEW BRAKE PADS, Check brake fluid imediately. had a similar problem on a 1990 camry. brake fluid level was slightly low. when temperature outside would drop, applying brakes would lower level and brake light would come on. possibly caused by a small leak in brake line. filling brake fluid would fix, but would reappear a couple of months later. Have brake lines checked for leak.

What is wrong when your brake pedal goes to the floor on a dodge caravan?

master cylinder is bad or air in brake system or you have a brake fluid leak somewhere in the system. look on the back side of the wheels in the rear and see if you see fluid. On the front you can easily see both the front and rear side and see if you see fluid. Sounds like a brake fluid leak somewhere as it is a closed system or did you replace the shoes or pads and didn't bleed the air out of the system.
