While driving on the highway the following warning lights all came on at the same time:
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON
ABS
TRAC OFF
What could have caused all of these to light up at the same time?

Does the vehicle's performance change? As far as the ABS and traction control, they work together.

Regardless, what you need to do is have the computer scanned to identify where the problem is coming from. Most nationally recognized parts stores will do it for free. Have that done and let me know what you find.

First THANKS for your assistance. I went to Advance Auto and had them scan my computer and their scanner came back with NO CODE. Does this mean I have to go somewhere else. As far as performance I have not noticed any changes but with the weather and dry conditions I cannot check to see if there is any anti lock or traction control. I cannot get the wheels to loose traction.

If the light is on, they should get a code unless they are using the wrong type of scanner. I hate to say it, but I think you need to have someone else check it.
