One or more of your sensors is going bad at the wheel. Usually in the hub. You can go from wheel to wheel and unplug the lead wire and figure out which one it is.

The abs light comes on when a fault is detected with abs system. Your best bet is to have the abs system scanned for trouble codes. Typically loose wheel bearings, or broken abs sensor harness wires are the two most common causes for the abs light to come on.
It is very common for all of these lights to come on all at the same time. They are all related to your Antilock Brake and Traction control system. ABS = Antilock Brake System, TRAC OFF = the traction control system is disabled - either because there is a malfunction in the ABS system or you have turned off the traction control button. VSC = Vehicle Skid Control. - (which uses the ABS and the Traction Control to function.)
The most common cause of these lights coming on is one or more defective wheel speed sensors. Although there are many other possible causes as well. Your ABS and Traction Control system must be scanned for fault codes to diagnose the problem. If you had damage to your wheels/axles during your "fender bender" this may have something to do with it. Otherwise it may just be coincidence that part of these systems failed right after your accident.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Traction Control system, this message will stay on a few seconds after the traction system stops limiting wheel spin.
This message will appear when the traction control system is limiting wheel spin. Keep in mind that when the warning lights turn on, a fault code is stored in the ABS
control module (in this case). Retrieving, diagnosing, and repairing any ABS system
faults will be necessary to keep the light off. A common fault with ABS
systems are the wheel speed sensors, stored codes may confirm this.
Hi,the traction control light coming up means there is a fault detected in the system and a scan tool will be required to learn what fault has been detected. Possible steering angle sensor, wheel speed sensor or brake pressure sensor since the light comes up when making turns or when backing up.
Faults are to be checked and proper diagnostic procedures carried out before parts replacement remedies.....
If the sensor didn't fix the problem, then it's most likely a wiring harness issue. A bad sensor/harness will turn off the ABS & traction control and turn on both ABS and Traction lights. time to troubleshoot the wiring harness for continuity/short between the sensor and the computer.
your traction control mechanism uses the abs breaks to slow the spinning and give you better traction. i'm thinking your traction control sensor has gone bad
abs pump motor control fault...dealter got parts from wrecker (lot cheaper) already spent close to $2000.00 to repair traction/abs..messages kept coming on so they finally diagnosed the above problem...we will see...
this could be a fault with the steering angle sensor located at the lower part of the steering colume, a fault read from a dealer will be able to verify this
