We are going to need more information than that...

Did you recently replace brake pads? Did this happen randomly?

Sometimes, you can clear the fault warnings by disconnecting you battery. Just remember that you'll need a code for your radio if you still have the stocker.

Some warning lights and fault codes require a few start cycles before they go out. I don't know if this is the case, but I'd wait to see before you freak out.

No maintenance performed on the brakes prior. This occurred out of the blue. The wheel speed sensor wiring appears intact. I checked all the fuses associated and removed and reinstalled the ASC relay and the ABS relay.

wheel sensor may be bad, when both are on(asc & abs) that is usually the culprit.

The lights just went out, it maybe a wheel sensor. I did clean the electrical contacts. I removed the screw holding the sensor, but could not remove the sensor. I'm assuming it's corroded around the sensor boss. Any tips on removal?
