 I have seen this problem mentioned before, so someone will know the answer
for sure. They are related and it seems that it's something that doesn't
really make sense. Just keep asking.

I'm guessing it's a bad vehicle speed sensor (VSS).

How would this cause the ABS and brake light to go on?Are they related (on the
same circuit)?>

The rear wheel speed sensor is part of the ABS system. It's actually the
ABS computer that provides vehicle speed data (as read from the rear wheel
sensor) to the PCM, which in turn drives the speedometer gauge. So, when
your RWSS starts flaking out, you not only get erratic speedometer function,
but the ABS computer sees a differential between the rear wheels and the
fronts, and sets a fault (which illuminates both lights).
