At random times (even when driving) all of my check engine lights will turn on, I will lose power steering, the ability to use my shifter and the electronic stability control. This problem usually occurs when i initially turn on the vehicle. I can turn it off and restart it and the lights will turn off except for the check engine light. When I ran the code on the check engine light the only thing it said was it was the ABS sensor.

Yep, this is common when the TIPM goes out which is common with these cars, but fear not because it is easy to replace because itself learns with no programming necessary. Here are the locations and instructions on how to change the TIPM out in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
