My traction control light and my abs lights keep coming on what does that mean and how do i fix it?

Today, most new vehicles come with either an ABS or a traction control system. A problem in the ABS or traction control system is usually indicated by a warning light. When the ABS warning light is on, it means that the ABS has been shut down because of a mechanical or electrical failure.

It means there is a problem with traction control system an there is a DTC- diagnostic trouble code stored in the ABS control module (because traction control is part of the ABS system) Do you know what DTC'S are ? Traction Control

the ABS system is defective, probably one or more of the sensors.

Traction control system works with the ABS sensors to monitor to monitor traction slippage.

The service ABS light on while driving means that the ABS wheel speed sensor is defective or a broken wire that goes to the sensor. You now only have regular braking. This means that you can now lock up one or more wheels with hard braking. Then the car can swerve either left or right while braking hard. The traction control must also rely on the ABS wheel speed sensor to keep both front wheels spinning at the same speed for safety reasons. This prevents loss of control of your car while getting better traction with the tires.

for check engine light to blinks is you have a serious misfire
fix the misfire.
traction control by ABS system when there is serious misfire and you keep on acc. then ABS module will turn on traction control light

you have a problem with the ABS system. the traction control is disabled when the ABS malfunctions. most common problem is a bad speed sensor.

Hello anber...the "Trac OFF" light comes on when there is a malfunction in the ABS because the traction control system uses the ABS sensors and other components to apply brakes to the slipping wheel so that the other wheel will get some power. Not as good as a limited-slip diff, but better than nothing. With the ABS reporting a fault, the Traction Control cannot function, and its computer disables it--hence the light. Fixing the ABS should fix the Trac problem. I would start by checking the sensors and making sure the master cylinder is full of brake fluid. I hope this helps.

means the traction control module is bad. That light is suppose to come on when you lose traction to let you know the traction control is kicking in.

When your ABS light comes on it means you have no ABS only normal braking. Also a traction light will come on at the same time becaust it is directly linked to the ABS to change torque before a wheel slips. You need to have it hooked up to a professional scanner, because there are many different possibilities of what is wrong with the ABS/TCS system. hope this helps!!!

ABS and traction control really are only for panic stops and if your tires slip on wet surface's and yes each tire has a sensor on it. However if the brake light comes on this has nothing to do with the ABS or traction control lights. It's not a parking brake light. This light tells you, you have a serious brake problem.
