Default All my dash warning lights are on!

Hi guys, I'm trying to restore a nice '99 Camaro Z28 and drive it around as I do. The car drives great with no issues, except that all the warning lights in my dash are on (ABS, both red brake lights, service vehicle, and check engine), the car is 100% stock except for LT headers and cat delete which may explain the check engine light, but I can't find any reason for all the others!, my brake system is all new (calipers, rotors, pads, hoses .. etc) and it still has the original stock LS1. Could it be a faulty ABS module?

I have been told that happens on alot of Asian vehicles when the battery is changed.

I wasn't aware that a '99 Camaro was an Asian vehicle. Amazing what one can learn here.

Kidding aside, Steve is right... a lot of weird things can happen on these vehicles when they have a failing battery.

+1. Happened to my Camaro too. I replaced the battery and issue was gone.

So true about the battery swap. I installed a red top optima battery on my 02 ss and a few weeks later while driving on the freeway all the lights on the dash came on and my camaro started losing power and hesitation on acceleration. I was like WTF i didn't do that before so lucky for me at that time i still had my 97 z28 so i swapped battery and sure enough it was the optima battery giving me that problem. Turns out the red top battery i bought had a fewk up cell inside and they were all sketchy at the parts store when i wanted them to give me another one.
