SES ABS DSC and Tire reset lights tripped tonight.

i have a 2006 MCSa that recently had the SES and DSC lights come on. it turned out to be the camshaft position sensor. i got that replaced and the car was great. i recently had an alta 15% pulley installed and have had 0 issues. tonight i gave it some gas at a green light and the car jolted a bit, tripping off the ABS, DSC and tire reset button. i thought that was strange. tonight on the way back home, i gave it a lot of gas, up to 5K RPM and SES ABS DSC and the tire reset buttons were tripped. i am going to get the code read out tomorrow morning, but wondered if any of you might know what the issue could be? is it pulley related since the ABS and tire reset lights are coming on?

My guess is a wheel speed sensor -- often a culprit for that particular combination of lights. With the auto tranny that would make sense w. the Transmission Control System code, too.

update: all the lights were caused by the right front ABS sensor. it got knocked out of position. the car is fine with no lights nor codes.

I was at the track today with my 2005 MCS and had the ABS, Low Tire Pressure and DSC lights all come on at the same time. Basically, I could run about 2 laps and then the lights would come on for the duration of my session. When I would start a new session the lights would be on when I started the car, but would then go off once I started moving. Then, once I hit the track, same lights would come on after 2 or 3 laps. Things seemed back to normal when I drove home. The lights did not come on at all.

It was my first time at this track and I had run all day at the track about a month ago without any problems. Does this sound like a sensor issue or something else? The brakes seemed soft today, but that could have just been from the track.

If it is the sensor(s) which ones should I replace? How difficult is it to do?

i took mine to a local shop and they found the culprit, so i'm not sure how to tell which one it is and how difficult it is to fix/replace.
