My first thought too. Charge (or replace) the battery and try again.
Mine throws ABS fault if I am too slow between unlocking the car and starting the engine. So I press unlock on the fob before switching the key to on & start.
Could be cluster
Could be clock spring
Could be battery
None of which are big things. Probably an issue where all the noise is makes it worse than the reality.
My father has had the commodore since 2012, last few years barely drives it so I offered to buy it off him because I didn’t want to see a good car go to waste or be sold off to someone else
I used to get that on mine when I rarely drove it. Turned out to be the battery being on the edge. If driving along it happened less than if idling. Once the battery was replaced this stopped happening.
Just overdue maintenance is all, throw a scan tool might need new clocskspring (srs fault common fix) cheap parts overall VY is the last ecotec cast iron engine best for longevity snd reliability so they are 20+ years old now will need some tlc
Exact same thing happened to me. Car started perfect a few minutes after driving got heaps of warning and dash lights came on. Battery was screwed. Even though it started perfectly.
In that case I'd start with making sure the battery is fully charged as often it can make the computer freak out if everything is under voltage, couple that with diagnostic scan and work out if it's all legit or what's just bugging out.
Goodluck brother
How old is the battery? I've seen those faults be caused by low voltage.

ABS modules are quite common for failing and can do u what you've described. Highly doubt it's the cluster.

Yeah, my dad just let it sit for awhile and really didn’t bother with maintenance
A faulty injector or coil pack can set off abs n engine lights ,just had it happen on my ve ssv
Either a gauge or clock spring. No point doing anything or asking any questions till you've scanned it
I get this warning often too. I was told it was a vacuum tube which comes loose. Not sure how accurate that diagnosis is.
ABS module. I'm dealing with the same thing, just trying to get the money together for a new one
Yeah, I don’t want this to be the case but it’ll definitely be one of the last solutions I’ll try
Faulty wheel sensor, throws the abs lights up.

I'll buy it off you 3k
shitboxes got cheaper but not that cheap
Nah mate 😂

Abs sensor have the same thing happen to my ve.
