VSC Off, ABS, VSC Trac lights on, No CE?

A bad break light switch above the brake pedal was my problem with getting the lights (07 SR5 6 Cyl 2WD). Finally detected and solved for about 3 mo now.
1. I had no break light showing when these lights were on.
2. I c/n get into gear until I repeatedly stepped on the break until I could get in gear.
3. A friend twists and pulled the break switch (with wires removed). It showed to be sticking and erratic brake lights. About 33.00 at local auto.
4. He re-installs for me to order a switch but it has not failed to work again. Nor have I been able to twist and pull it out (to try TV tuner spray).
 
Pictures of Speed Sensor please!

I'm reading several posts about the Speed Sensor wires being stretched, broken during a lift install. That's the issue I have. The Zero Point Calibration didn't work and the ODBII couldn't clear the lights on the dash. They said it was either an ABS sensor or speed sensor. I've checked the ABS sensors but don't know where the speed sensors are located. I know I have to remove the tire (Front) but what am I looking for? I haven't seen anybody post pics.
 
I'm having an issue with my ABS too. It is intermittent, usually on cold days. I tried to search everything and couldn't find anyone having my issue.

Car will run for a bit, then, the ABS light and the (!) BRAKE light go on and an audible horn sounds. It will do it anywhere from 30 seconds... to today, about 5 mins. Brakes lock up in the snow. No fun!

I hear the pump going on and off... sometimes as it's just "trying" to pump. But other than the ABS not working, brakes work fine. Helllllp.

Also, the fluid is fine...
 
The last few days I've had the check engine, vsc off, vsc trac light on. Went to take it in to dealer this morning and the damn lights aren't on anymore. I put a lift on about 5k miles ago. After reading a few threads on this issue it seems if the check engine light is also on it's usually more serious? I'm having them try and diagnose it but don't want to pay them anything if it's just gonna be a reset calibration. Should I try and get the codes from them first to see if it's something I can fix?

Edit: ok so the code came back as a P0021 I believe he said which he claims requires a timing belt replacement. It is recommended to change at 90k miles and I'm sitting at 121k miles.

Try the brake switch as others suggested. It fixed my issue with the VSC/TRAC/ABS lights coming on. It's an easy fix.
 
Never had the abs light come on. Just vsc trac, ck engine and vsc off lights. Looking back through the maintenance records I see they recommended replacing the drive belt at 63k miles but they didn't do it. I swear they replaced it though when I bought it at 97k miles but I have no records from the shady dealer I bought it from.
