ABS INOP, ASR Off, and BRAKE lights on
Today my ABS INOP, ASR Off, and my BRAKE light came on all at the same time. I've done nothing at all to wheels, suspension, brakes. Just driving along and all three of those lights came on at once. Any ideas on what could have caused that?
Update: This is intermittent. Sometimes I start the car and the lights are off, but they all come on after a few miles. Sometimes they are already on when I start the car, and they stay on.

I want to bump this to the top, I have exact same issue. Except Mine started only yesterday and have not noticed it to be intermittent , they are always on with car running.

Mine is still doing it, still intermittent. I had a Snap-On diagnostics tech scan the car with the "Latest/Greatest" scanner and he tells me that it is the alternator going bad. I've also gotten under the car to look for this dirty sensor on the rear end and I didn't find anything b/c I didn't know what to look for. Does anyone know what this thing is supposed to look like?

I don't have an answer for you, but i have the same exact issue when i put my Draglites/slicks on. I am not sure if its from the fronts or the backs....but i hate to see lights on the dash. Once i put the Z06 wheels back on, the lights go out.

Thanks for the response! What makes you think that it is a rear one? What do I look for? I'm about to break down and take it to a shop to get fixed. This is driving me crazy!

But if it's sensors, a Tech2 should be able see a stored code for which side to start looking at.

I've got factory wheels and tires. I haven't heard this one, though. Thanks for the post!

Both those lights came on for me right after I changed my gears and started the car with the back end about 2 feet in the air still. Once I put the car down they both went off.
So my guess is the tire diameter is different or soemthing. Do you have staggered wheels like 17's front 18's back?
