Turned on the car this morning and the abs litght and trac light came on

This means there is a problem with the trac and abs system. the way it works is that when the computer sees a problem with the abs or trac system it turns them both off. also if the check engine light is turnned on due to a problem the computer shuts down the trac and abs system as well due to the computer not being able to control the trac or abs system when there is a engine problem.

The first step here would be to have the computer scanned and get any stored codes out to find out where the problem is. Have the computer scanned for codes first.

The service engine light does not affect the abs.You most likely have a broken wire in your abs system which is affected by suspension movement.A code reader which does abs codes will tell you which wheel circuit is turning on the abs light.When there is no abs available the track will turn off.

MOST OF THE TIME WHEN ABS LIGHT AND TRAC LIGHT TURNS ON.YOU COULD HAVE A BAD WHEEL SPEED SENSOR.BEST TO TAKE CAR TO DEALERSHIP LET THEM DO CODE SCAN ON ABS BRAKE SYSTEM TO SEE WHAT CAUSING THE ABS AND TRAC LIGHT TO TURN ON.

When the Service engine soon, ABS and TRAC lights are turned on at the same time the computer control units for the engine and the ABS/TRAC systems has sensed a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system and the ABS and Traction Control system (part of the ABS system). When this happens you will seldom feel the car engine run any different or the car drive any different. There are about 200 possible faults that turn the Check Engine light on, the fault in your car is likely a part called the VSS sensor to know for sure what the problem is you must have the system tested; Kragen and Autozone parts stores do this testing for free

CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE TRANSMISSION FLUID ON FRONT BRAKE ROTOR OR BRAKE PADS.IF BRAKES CONTAMINATED THE TRAC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON.IF ALL LOOKS GOOD LET DEALERSHIP CHECK OUT THE ABS BRAKES AND TRAC SYSTEM.THEY HAVE TO USE DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

The steering wheel position, wheel speed sensors, and ABS systems are all used to provide traction control. You likely have a failure of one or more systems. Scan the ABS system and it will provide codes to help the diagnosis. Wheel speed sensors fail often, and it is likely one or more of these is contributing to the problem.

it may be,but the best bet is to have the car scaned for the trouble codes.

I will bet money that it is the ABS/TRACS module. It is mounted under the master cylinder on the bottom of the ABS unit. These are very, very, very common failures. I have replaced hundreds of them in my career. To answer your other question, the TRACS system uses brakes. For example: in the snow, when the L or R wheel is spinning faster than the opposite, the TRACS will apply brake to the spinning wheel to slow it down to an equal speed. Hope this helps.

YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR CAR DIAGNOSE WITH A SCAN TOOL AND THAT WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO TURN ON

some times the sensors on the car receive a power serge
this causes them to overreact don't stress if they are not and everything seem fine it was probable a glitch
my sisters Mazda dose the same thing some times
