When the car has the e-brake on, nothing is wrong, but when I take it off and start to move, the ABS INOP light, and the ASR light come on and stay on, untill i eventually park and put the brake up. Also, sometimes (not always) if I hit a bump in the road, the BRAKE and LOW TRAC lights will flash.

I know some others have had this problem, what have you all found out? What should i look at/clean/replace?

I would start by cleaning and tightening the ground lugs on the RH shock tower. You may also need to check the connections at your wheel sensors.

Its normal for the low trac light to come on when hitting heavy pot holes.

I fixed this problem, finally. What i did was clean the wheel sensors out. It was one of my front wheels. It took 3 driving cycles for the code to clear. During those cycles the Brake and LOW TRAC lights flashed constantly, then they finally went off about 10-15 minutes of driving the 3rd time out. They havn't come back yet

i have a similar thing happen. sometimes when i start to let the clutch out and begin to move the abs light flashes really quick and then goes off. its weird but never stays on or anything.

Metlhed54 i'm going out on a limb here, just taking a guess. When you start out from a stop and that happens are you letting the RPM's drop a lot? by that i mean down to approx. 500. If so it might be that you are about ready to kill the car and the ABS sensor isn't getting enough juice. I had kind of a similar problem. My old fuel pump was going out and was eating up lots of juice so much juice that when i would floor it and the car got into the higher RPM's the ABS light would go off because of lack of juice. At least thats what i've come up with as it hasn't happened again since the fuel pump and it use to happen all the time.
