Title: ABS and Traction Controll lights on
Post by: craig4004 on 14 May 2012, 15:49

This all started over the winter when my ABS and TC lights were just randomly coming on/turning off. More recently (3 months now) they have both stayed on all the time, and neither ABS or TC works. Iv been told an ABS sensor could be the problem is this true?
Cheers :)

That's because you can't drive properly  :rolleyes: :kiss:

@ the OP - 95% it will be an ABNS sensor; either the sensor fails or the wiring chafes through causing a break in the circuit
