abs/traction lights on
when i start my car they shut off like normal but when im driving they turn back on
abs light stays on traction control light comes on saying that its off any way to fix it or just let it do its thing? 1996 bonneville se i push the bottun but it stays on so it says "traction control off" and abs light stays on except for when i turn off the car and restart it |
Had this happen to mine, it was I think the hubs had to be replaced. One one year, the next the next year.
|
i just had the hubs done about 10k miles ago bought the car with bads ones and told em the only way i would buy is if they replaced them for free at no cost to me

You need to get it scanned and find out what the codes are. That will give you your base point to figure out what is causing the light to come on. It could be a bad speed sensro in the hub, or the hub itself. It could also be a wiring problem. The TCS sytem is tied into the ABS system. So when the ABS light is tripped, it will also trip the TCS light.

I got ABS and TC light today while driving and it was the belt slipped off the tensioner and knocked off in-link connector from the hub sensor.

Yup, you've got a fault code in the ABS system that is triggering those indicator lights.
Likely a bad speed sensor in the hub. Will need a scan to pinpoint which one is reading incorrectly, and then you can check the wiring, and/or replace the hub if problem is not wiring-related. So far I have not seen many problems with the system that are something OTHER than the Wheel Speed Sensors. Good Luck!! For what it's worth, the car will still drive and stop OK, but it will be just like an old car before those systems started to become popular. |
Same thing has been happening to me. I scanned it and it says there is nothing wrong. If I turn the car on and off it goes off, sometimes it will come back on 5 minutes later, other times it won't....What is my problem here? Thanks

summer time is the stang :D |
Sideways here:
If you run out of options; I had problem with the ABS lite staying lit. It turned out to be that octopus looking ABS controller (valve?) that is in the front of the engine bay, on driver's side. Junkyard price here was about $175 (close to $800 rebuilt). My brake guy charged $120 to install, but was worth it. Hope it is not that, though. |
