I just started getting a trio of lights on my dash: the VSA light, the ABS light and the triangle with exclamation point light. Car seems to drive fine. No limp mode or anything like that. Car is pretty much stock and I've had no "incidents" in the past 6 months: no major service or impacts/collisions or anything unusual.

From reading through some posts here, seems like a possible cause would be a faulty wheel speed sensor. Do you agree? How could I check to be sure?

Scan tool! Check for codes and view pid data for the wheel speed sensor

I hate cars

Agreed, a scan tool will tell you exactly what it is. Many times if it's a wheel speed sensor you can take it out somewhere safe and mash the brakes and see if it locks up a wheel or all of the wheels. Be careful not to flat spot the tires if it does lock up. Sometimes doing it in the rain or dirt is easier for your tires. It doesn't really mean anything even if it doesn't lock, many times the problem can be intermittent.

Yup. Faulty sensor. When mine did that it was an O2 sensor. Only difference from your situation though is that my CEL light would come on and the car would go into limp mode.

I'll take it the shop I use to have them scan the codes. Yesterday the roads were wet and I hit the brakes as a test and they did lock up as I figured. Also traction control did not kick in. Hit the gas hard from a dead stop and the tires spun.

Just an update on this. I finally had this checked out. Problem is a faulty rear right wheel speed sensor. Just ordered it online and will hopefully replace it later this week.

My problem was actually the banjo bolt on the passenger side caliper being loose. Ended up leaking all of my brake fluid.. my reservoir was bone dry. Luckily enough I was driving slow and pulled over at the time.

Thanks for the info. I should point out that my dash lights were slightly different than yours. I did not have the "BRAKE" light, but rather the "ABS" light. The other two lights were the same.
