Throwing lights, Need help.. Last night I was driving home when I heard a loud bang in the area of my passenger wheel, so I pulled over to discover that some of my tape weights had came off thus the noise. I got back in my car and started to drive off when my E-Brake, Tcs, and ABS inop lights came on?? 
Could it be the ABS sensor on that wheel or?? Any help is greatly appreciated in advance!

I would check the wires going to the sensor for damage, I can only imagine the destructive potential of flying tape weights hitting wires after being flung from a spinning wheel.

Yeah I think the ABS sensor is built into the front wheel bearing casing. The crappy part is the bearings are prepacked along with the sensor( I believe). So they sell it as a unit. Pull the tire and run a visual check on everything. That's assuming it is the front wheel.
FYI, tape weights look better but they do come off easier.
It could have hit and damanged anything. Brake lines, sensor, caliper, you never know till you look.
