Default ABS INOP, LOW TRAC, Brake light come on over bumps, harsh accelleration

I just finished a motor swap (LS1 into a V6 body)

Now under rough accelleration or over bumps in the road the following lights flash on the gauge cluster

ABS INOP
LOW TRAC
and the red BRAKE light


They go off right away, but they always come back on the next bump.

All the sensors look fine and are plugged in securely, what should I double check?

Thanks..

Resetting the computer didn't fix it, any other suggestions?

Yes, make sure the wheel sensors are plugged in all the way; it's easy to have them not quite in all the way. In the rear, you will either have one on the top of the rear end as mentioned above, or there may be one on each rear wheel if you have a four channel system (traction contol or ASR.)

Turned out to be a loose ground on the chasis by the ABS unit- go figure!

Thanks guys!
