Default ABS INOP, Brake Light, Service Vehicle Lights

The last two days all 3 of these lights are showing up on my dashboard. My WS6 has 68,000 miles on the clock and is running fine. Any idea what could be throwing these codes? The ABS and brake light use to come on my Camaro after putting on bigger wheels and different tires. Everything is stock but a catback. Should I be concerned and go have it scanned? Thanks in advance.

It's strange because driveability is normal. I checked the brake fluid and its fine. Dont get it. I reset the ABS fuses and it was good for like 5 mintues and the lights came right back on.

Check your ABS Sensors. They could be loose, shorted wiring or sensors could be bad.

^ABS sensors that are on each wheel? By digging up some old threads some guys say the problem was the ABS module was shot, others just had a loose connection in the rear housing, and others changed the sensors on each wheel. I really just want to get it scanned instead of spending money taking chances changing random things.

At least check them out and make sure the bolts aren't loose, that would cause an improper reading in the ABS module. But you could get it scanned and see what the issue is that way. But without a scanner a visual is the best way to rule out a few things. It COULD be the module as well. I'm not sure.
