Default Not real sure....

where to post this but aobut a month ago my ABS INOP and parking brake light come on whenever I'm racing the car. Now just recently it has started to happen whenever. The lights go off when I turn the car off and on. I just don't get it. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? It's a 98Z28

Never brake torqued it at all. Someone told me to check my brake fluid level. It's not empty but I guess I could put more fluid in and see if that helps. You guys ever heard of those lights coming on because of low fluid level?

I got that with a check gauge light. seems to happen when i really break traction. guess it thows off the ABS & traction, that would be my guess. After i shut the car off, then back on it goes away.

does this sound like your problem?
