In most cases, these all come on when either the brake fluid is low or if a wheel speed sensor has failed.

First, make sure the fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir is full. If it is, you have two ways to check the sensors.

First, if you have a live data scanner, you can set it to read the speed of each wheel. Watch for a wheel speed sensor that is off from the others.

If you don't have a scan tool, here is a link that explains how to test a wheel speed sensor using a voltmeter or multimeter:

If these lights came on at the same time, this is what I suspect is the issue. Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Saw a video with same code where he initiated ABS, so I did that with the scanner and they went away, maybe someone replaced the module before as it has a sticker that says remove before installing. I'll see if it comes back.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. It's appreciated. I'm glad you got the code to stay off. The idea that the original VIN was an issue does sound like someone replaced it.

Regardless, I'm glad to know it's fixed.

Please feel free to come back anytime in the future. You are always welcome here.

Take care,

Joe
