ABS, Slip & TCS Lights Are On - HELP!

My ABS, SLIP and TCS OFF lights just came on my dash out of nowhere. Anyone have any suggestions or know what is going on with my car? I'm driving a 2001 Maxima SE automatic tranmission.

Scan it first, probably have a bad ABS Module.

If you don't have a SES light there is no way to scan it, unless you have access to a consult II device... There is a way you can scan the 01's without it though. The ABS module might not be bad, on the 01's if you get these lights it could be a NUMBER of different things. Coils, Speed sensors, VSS, MAF. More than likely the ABS module IS still good. EVERYTHING speed and engine related is hooked into the module, so if ONE thing goes bad you lose out on all 3 options.

Next step would probably be to check all of your coils, check your wheel sensors, and check to see if any of your fuses are blown.
