MPG 5.9 and other questions

Hey Guys,
I have the dreaded problem with the ABS, Brake, and traction warning lights on. I had the wheel sensors checked and cleaned so I'm guessing I need a new ABS module, but will this fix the MPH 35.5 and the MPG 5.9 issues on my instrument panel. CC and Speed are OK.
Thanks.

When you say you had the wheel sensors checked do you mean by checking the diagnostic code read outs or just a visual inspection? If the latter, you could be missing information saying that the sensor is defective and in need of replacing (if cleaning just didn't do it), not overly expensive, certainly less than a new module.

I haven't heard of a faulty sensor leading to weird mph and mpg readings, but I guess it's conceivable...

More info on the 35.5 and 5.9. What and where is it showing that?
