Get the car hooked up to a diagnostic scan tool that can read the ABS/VSC system and see what the Diagnostic Trouble Codes are. These will point you toward the issue. Get the issue corrected and then reset the lights.

check all your fuses first then you may want to read it with one of the code readers (fyi: autozone or advance will gladly read it for you for FREE!!) but if it isnt the fuses it probably a speed sensor or sensor of some sort

#1 Do a search
#2 Go to autozone and get the code checked
#3 Fix problem

There are TONS of threads that come up with this issue and ALMOST all of them end up being the front sensors. May not be your case but you should get the codes pulled, look them up and post.

As mentioned above Autozone will check it for free.

If you don't get any codes, I would check your "stop" and "tail lights" fuses.

Standard OBDII readers only get basic Engine and Emissions codes and sometimes data. You need a "enhanced" scan tool that is capable of reading the ABS/VSC module.
