I just changed my tranny on my 1997 DeVille and now the traction light and ABS come on. When that happens, the traction and ABS don't seem to work but the brakes work normally. If I stop the engine and restart, the problem goes away. Should I bring it back to the shop since it is under full warranty ????? Thank you

There is a good possibility that this may not be a transmission related issue but a bearing hub assembly which may be going bad. The abs sensor is contained the with in the wheel bearing.They may be able to put a scan tool on it and let you know what codes are disabling the abs and traction control but quite possibly just a bad wheel bearing.

Why does my ABS light stays on and sometimes i get a vibration in the brake petal causing my 2002 Cadillac escalade not wanting to stop?

The light being on means the system has detected a problem in one or more sensors. The vibration is the ABS modulating the brakes to prevent skidding because it has detected a wheel that is locked up. That wheel is most likely the one sensor that is giving you the error.

Abs light stays on, after changing brakes, 1997 caddy deville

ABS light comes on with ignition then should go off when you start the car.
If abs sensor does not turn off after disconnecting the battery, then there is a real problem, a faulty sensor or ABS malfunctioning.

I just put read brake pads on a 1997 Cadillac Deville and the abs and traction lock lights are on now. Do they need to be reset (how?) or what did I do that caused this?

It shouldn't need reset. Check to see if one of the rear abs sensors got unplugged when you were changing your pads.

My ABS light is on as well as my traction control light. Also my truck and gas button dosen't work and my inside linterior lights don't work

The taction light generally lights when you have an ABS fault. This is very rational because you don't want the traction control trying to kick in if the ABS is off line. Check your fuses first. If all good bring it to a qualified shop. DON'T mess with barkes unless you know whatyuo are doing
