Default Vsc on car won't move vsc off car moves?

So yesterday my girl goes to drive calls me and says the car won't start she said "it sounded like it wanted to turn over but didn't now when I put the key in nothing comes on " I get tighten some battery terminals wiggle them car starts no dash lights on previously I had vsc check and head light tilt on along with abs(but they never caused this problem before) go to drive and the car sliding lights come one and the brakes apply ,pedal to the floor car just sits there at about 2.5-3k with the car sliding lights on .so I turn the vsc off and everything is normal while I'm driving I turn the vsc back on and I keep driving normal come to a full stop and try to go again bam locked brakes car no go ?? Why so the vsc lights and headlight lights also came back after 20min

In the three years you have been a member, what kind of maintenance have you done to your LS? this will give us a clue as to what is going on... AND also give us all the codes the scanner shows you.... all of them..

Sounds like one of ABS sensors is dead or the ABS/traction computer is not working right. Read the code as Billy suggested.
