Default Help! Traction Control Stopped Working.

I have a 2000 Camaro LS1. when i bought the car in Sept my traction control, cruise control, and ABS worked. about a month ago all of these things stopped working. i dont no if they are connected in any way but they all went out at the same time.now my ASR OFF light is on and so is my (ABS) light. my cruise control wont even come on. someone please tell me what happened with these, if they are related, and how to fix them. i am just sick and tired of spinning in the rain due to the high torque and hp these factory LS1's put out. but trust me i aint complaining bout the power just need some help. thank you for responding and viewing guys!!!

No traction conrtol? No ABS?

I'm confused as to what the problem is...

A sensor maybe. Would the wheel speed sensor cause all those to stop working? Seems like the only thing in common.

I know I upset my ABS on the track (road coarse) one time. All these lights (ABS Inop, Brake, etc) came on. I shut off the car and restarted when I got back to the pits and everything was fine.

there is a couple plastic cutoff switches mounted to the top of your brake and clutch pedals that are compressed when the pedals are not in use. They are released/extend to break the circuit when you push the pedal. same thing just happened to mine yesterday...doesnt take too long to fix

My 2006 TrailBlazer and a simulator, the ABS, TCS, StibiliTrac, 4X4 selector switch, and cruse control would not work but the car would start. It turned out to be a problem with the ignition column and cylinder. They replaced that and everything work great.

it could possibly be a rear sensor, i know my 99 has abs rings on the axles that may possibly tell if your spinning or not.

i just got mine from the shop and they had the rear jack up with running and the abs inop light was on until i drove it down the road 1/4 then went back off.

just an idea.
