ABS INOP and BRAKE light on My ABS light and BRAKE light now come on after I changed my rims/wheels to a bigger size, and I'm assuming that is the problem from what i have read. Both times they've come on its highway driving for over 5 mins. What would be the solution/fix? New speed sensor? Thanks guys.

originally i had typed out a decent sized response, but then i saw how quickly this topic came up in a search. chances are you'll find your answer in this 12 page thread:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...-trac-off.html
if not i'm sure one of the other threads in the 12 pages of search results will help you. search terms: abs inop brake tcs
edit: and just to be actually helpful. from what i've seen it's either a sensor on the abs somewhere (never looked that into that aspect of it) or busted/hair line cracks in the solder on the ebcm (located behind the glove compartment in the dash.)

Heya,
Yes if the fronts and the rears are different sizes ie rim diameter etc then the sensor will turn off ASR (traction control) ABS and turn the brake light on, at least it did for me as soon as I went over 50mph.
When I changed to wheels and tires all round being the same size then the lights did not come on and everything was fixed immediately.
Hope that helps
