Faults with abs and traction contrl

Are you asking why both lights come on at the same time to indicate that those functions are not operational? That is because traction control uses the ABS sensors to operate. If one (or more) of the sensors are bad/not reporting properly, it shuts off both ABS and Traction Control. If you went over a bump or other irregular surface, that could confuse the system and set a fault that could be reset when you restart the car. If it is a more permanent failure where the warning lights stay on after the car is restarted, someone will need to perform a diagnostic procedure to find the fault.

Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP)

The light will flash if you are driving and the traction control system is activated (it detects wheel slip on ice, water, etc.). This just tells you it is actively working. You should adjust your driving to the current road conditions to prevent loss of control.

If it stays on continuously, the traction control system (ESP) is off, or there is a problem with the ESP system. Usually, the ABS light will also illuminate if the ESP light is on due to a fault.

1. What make/model/year vehicle?
2. Any other problems arising?
3. Have you scanned the OBD system for fault codes?

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS, TPMS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

TC = Traction Active

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.

Hope this helps.

Did they go off in a reasonable amount of time? If not and they stayed on you have a problems with your ABS and traction control. The ABS fault is usually the sensor on the wheels, you don't say what year you ride is but after 10 years or so they will get dirty and like up the ABS light. As far as the traction control there could be a multitude of things that can go wrong, But it is usually the sensors they have on the wheels.

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.....
