ABS is short for anti-lock braking system. This is a separate system from your hydraulic brakes. The abs light means the system has a problem and it is disabled until you fix it. The regular brakes still work as you know. Someone needs to scan the computer for ABS trouble codes and go from there.
Make sure you fix them . This could make other break easyly and come off, To fix the easyest wat you need a ez-out and a reversable drill, Go slow and it will come rt. out. Have to remove the axle to get to it. If on front. if on back can do easyer. A tire shop might charge you $10 to replace if you go get the studs. Good luck.
If they look like a smaller version of your front brakes where you can see the disc (should be shiny on the side of the disc where the pad touches the rotor) then you have disk brakes.
If it's all black, or all kinda of rusted looking and all you see is a "cap" over everything behind the rim, then it'll be a drum...
95% of the zx3's have drums only 5% of zx3's had discs. The ones that have disc brakes, also came with traction control as part of the package.
did you have them change the rotors too ? even brand new ones out of the box often require turning (machining). replace the pads and rotors and go easy on the brakes for the first little while
