ABS Light / Brakes Please respond

I was driving yesterday in regular driving conditions and suddenly the ABS, SLIP and TCS light showed up on my dashboard. I first noticed that the car was kind of slow moving at first and second gear before this happened. I stopped and turned the car off for few seconds and then started again. The light came back so decided to push the brake pedal few times see if I circulate the break fluid and it worked for a while but the light keeps coming back. I checked the fluid level and it is fine. So I decide to take it in today hoping it is nohing.

Any Ideas to what it could possibly be happening?

Thanks!

Same thing happened to my wife's 2001 Maxima GLE.

I just got yesterday my car back from the dealer . Apparently the speed detection/adjustment sensor went bad and needs replacement. My luck my warranty just expired last month. Part are on order which will cost me about $300 to fix the problem.
Though this is very unusual but someone mentioned that the current suspension set up may have something to do with the problem. (I have running H&R and Tokico for the past month) and I think I may have to go back to stock just to see if there were right.

Hope this helps

myABS light showed up 2 months ago and it was my left rear ABS senser went bad, cost my $300 to change the new one. But 2 weeks ago, ABS light showed up again. This time is right rear ABS senser. Man, the other $300 again. I didn't change my suspension. Now. it is time to either change my tires or New car.......
