Default ABS, Brake and ASR lights coming on at same time

I have an '02 SS Camaro and recently the ABS, Brake and ASR lights pop on while I'm running. When I shut the motor off for about 15 seconds and restart it they go off as normal. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

i had the same issue when my ABS module died. I replaced the electrical part of it and all was good to go. This is actually a common problem.

Also could be dirty or failed ABS wheel sensors.

Thanks for your help - the ABS wheel sensors are the wires with a connector on the back of the rear wheels correct? I got under and located them yesterday but need to get the car up to pull apart and try to clean. Did you have a scan done to locate the electrical part problem of the ABS module?

Thanks for the help - I assume the lights need to be on before a scan correct? Or will a scan still show a problem without the lights on? Sometimes I drive 30 or 45 minutes before they pop on.

Are your rear tires taller than the front?

Was near the Chevy dealer today when lights popped on so took it in. Codes were C0896 which was supposedly possible weak battery and C0550 which was bad electronic brake control module. EBCM is rather expensive.
