Feel safe about your trip as this a only warning lights that some issues are at hand concerning your car, it does not mean you can not travel 1000miles.

Just take your car for a scan and it will all be corrected.

I have a 2004 Oldsmobile Aleroand I would like to know what needs to be done to fix the service vehicle soon anti-lock and trac off light from coming on

First you'll need to take it someplace to get the computer checked for trouble codes. The codes will tell you or a mechanic what to test.
If the check engine light comes on, it will also turn on the other warning lights even if there is no problem with trac or ABS.

When I start my 2001 alero the anti-lock, traction light, service engine soon, service vehicle soon lights all stay on all the time. But my car seems to be running fine. Why is this?

the anti-lock and traction lights will come on together if there is a common problem with the two, since they are closely related. may be a wheel speed sensor or something similar. the service engine soon light indicates a problem with the engine computer, can be anything from an emission system problem or an engine performance problem. all of these lights can come on with no apparent running problems on the car. the service vehicle soon light is basically a maintenance reminder, an oil change light. take the car into a shop and have the codes read for these lights.

The anti-lock and trac off lights on my 03 Oldsmobile Alero came on along with service engine soon light. Any idea what might be causing this?

More than likely one or more of your wheel speed sensors is not reporting properly. This is fairly common. If you have the ABS codes scanned it will tell you which ones to look at first. I would check/clean the electrical connectors to the wheel speed sensors as these often are the problem.

Service vehicle soon, anti-lock, trac off all on

You need a new wheel bearing, This also happened to my olds alero, make sure 2 jack up each tire 1 at a time and pull back and forth on them checking for play, once you have found the 1 that has play or wobbles that is the 1 that needs a new wheel bearing

3 WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON

If you have 02 sensor that are bad, you need to take it to a mechanic. Sometimes there is a bigger problem than what the autozone people can tell you. To run a full diagnostic at a mechanic depending on where you live can be 80-100 dollars. The shop will be able to tell you in more depth what is wrong. Sometimes mechanic will charge more to check under the hood as well, but if you fix it now, it wont cost hundreds in repairs down the road, or even a new car if you let it go. It happend on my old car and that is why I have the alero.

I have an 2001 oldsmobile alero and everytime i turn my car on, my sensor lights immediately go off: service vehicle soon, service engine soon, anti-lock, and trac off. whats causing these problems, i've...

you have a problem known to many alero and pontiac grand am cars you have a bad wheel bearing,this is a common problem with these cars and they will not do a recall on this.you need to have your front wheel bearing hubassemblies replaced its not a bad job can be done by a decent backyard mechanic but a lot cheaper then going to the dealer, just save your reciepts in case they do recall your car for this problem they will reimburse you for your cost. If you have service engine light on, trac. off light and the ABS light on the same time, you may be able to get it fixed my reprogramming the power control module (with updated software calibration).

Service vehicle soon light is on, scanner at gm dealer read no codes. what all sensors activate this light. aso trac light is on. traction button(in stupid place) doesn't work

ok there is a difference between the check engine light and service vehicle soon light. The service vehicle soon light comes on when a bulb is out on the daytime running lights. Check your bulbs if there is one out and you put a new one in it will most likely take car of problem.
