I bet the speed sensor in the rear end went south.

go to the dealer tomorrow and buy a new sensor....it's one bolt (13mm i believe) holding it in...takes all of about 2 min to replace

the brake and ABS light probably means that your low on brake fluid, check that first, not sure about the speedo .. all my guages stopped working at one point and i had to have the instrument panel replaced becasue the wires in the back of it were fried . that was a pretty $800 down the drain .. so check your wires too
