ABS, TCS OFF and BRAKE light all on!! Whats wrong?!
Went to the track today, drove down on my 11.5 MT ET Streets, got about 10 miles or so into the trip down and all three of the lights came on ABS INOP TCS OFF and BRAKE. I also couldn't turn traction control on or off, but it defaulted to off. What does this mean??
Thanks
Thanks

False/faulty reading from a wheel speed sensor perhaps?

dude, just drive around for a little. this has hapened to my car 2 or 3 times in the past year. It usually happens after a burnout or doughnuts. I wouldn't worry about it. the longest it ever stayed like that was a couple days. These cars sometimes have really weird electrical issues. After my cam swap, 50% of the time i would start my car and the tcs would be off, but only the tcs. it was pretty cool unless I was driving in the rain. but, after a couple months, that went away too. now everything electrically works fine..I hope

It's heat related. Could be a sensor going bad, but it's definately heat related.
Mine does that if I'm stuck in rush hour or stop/go traffic. Once it cools off a bit, you can turn the key off for a minute, then restart, and it will be off.

We'll see if they set again tomorrow on the way to school

Definitely sounds like a wheel sensor related issue and the different size tires can cause it. Different size tires will cause the ABS system to get confused and disable ABS and TCS (the exact same symptoms you posted). Mine did the same thing when I installed the 9" and I had to make some adjustments to the sensor but now all is fine.
