I'm going to subscribe because I've got 2 of the 3 lights, ABS INOP and Brake, I don't have traction control. I checked mine out with a Modis Scan tool and i wasn't getting any readings from the wheel speed sensors.

Finally after like a week this thread is getting some attention, ABS is a serious issue.
F bodys aren't the embodiment of safety. lol
**UPDATED**
- Pulled all 4 wheel sensor plugs and sprayed some cleaner into them.
- Checked Burnt out bulbs in the back and replaced one in the corner of the drivers side.
- Jacked up the car two times rear and front checked connections above rear dif. housing and as well as on the front of the car with the wires from the speed sensors to the harnesses connected on the K member.
- Checked all ABS bat/ trac fuses cleaned etc.
- Cleaned Ground spots
- Checked wire harness connected to ABS block.
**- Checked Third Brake Lights(2), they are fine.
-----
Somthing Benner and Armkneez you both might want to check is from each wheel a wire leads some how into the ABS block.
Follow them and see if they are interupted, I am going to check my self tonight is the connections from the rear to the front again, I just got a hydraulic jack finally for X mas so I am gonna get this car in the air high enough up to really get a good sight on the whole picture.
**BTW ArmKneez just read in your sig you got 4.10's I am not sure if those can trigger the light to go off but it probably wouldnt set off untill you started driving if that were the case.

man i have been having this problem forever... and its scary cause my brakes dont work rigth when the light pops on almost like no brake fluid. or air bubbles...
i replaced my hub/speedsensor nothing...
im starting to think it might be party because of air in the brake lines and thats what ill check next
but man i would love to know why my car is doing this i have:
ABS INOP, ASR OFF ALL THE TIME, LOW TRAC

So the car is still not fixed
I jacked the car up again re examined good this time everything seems plugged in fine one thing I did notice on the back drivers side wheel hub on the rear where I believe the hand brake controls looks pretty ripped up seems there was some kind of protective rubber or something that is tore up.. Could this be the issue?...

I got a problem where i drive my car for about 4 miles and the front brakes lock up, i have changed lines abs unit sensors, etc and i have the same problem cars not throwing any cars and no one can figure out the problem./\
in your instance i would think the abs unit itself would be bad

Throwing out more info...maybe
Same, all three lights, except mine typically comes on after driving for about 8-10 minutes. Occassionally it will come on when starting the car, but usually after a brief period of time. {DON"T TRY THIS} Sometimes while still moving, I"VE HEARD, you can kill the car and restart it and the issue stays away {DON"T TRY THIS}

I started having a very similar problem myself. Toward the end of the year, my abs inop light would come on as well as the low trac light. It would come on and go away periodically. But when the lights were on, the braking was horrible. I would like to know what is causing this because it needs to be fixed come spring.

Check all your wheel hubs for the speed sensors plugged in, follow the front ones up to the K member where they are plugged into another long harness. Also under the hood check your 4 grounds.. take them all out clean them with COKE or baking soda maybe sand down the contact spots. Make sure the ABS block its self has its big harness plugged in nice n snug. Also in the rear end of the car above the differential housing is another plug in spot for the rear wheel sensors make sure those are plugged in.
