This soundslike a bad speed sensor, you will need to have the computer scanned for codes, the computer turns on the light and stores the code, the code will tell you what has gone wrong and with some testing you can find the problem, the most common problem could be a bad wheel speed sensor, both light are on due to the abs problem because the trac control uses the abs speed sensors to watch wheel speed so if the computer sees a problem with the abs it turns off the trac and turns on the light. after the abs is repaired the trac light will go out, start by having the codes read, a scan tool is needed to get the codes, there are many auto part stores that scan the computer for free but i dont know if they scan for abs codes, you will have to check that out. good day.

Abs light on tracking says off

need to check abs sensors and or hubs(wheel bearing) the sensor wires sometimes get damaged by road debris ---if the hub is going bad it usually affects the abs since the sensor is incorporated into it and your tracking system is also part of the abs

Changed rear air ride shocks on 2007 tahoe have abs,service stable track ,service traction control light on how can I reset them

Hi Ron,
Check to see if the speed sensor came off at either of the back wheels,That would turn on the ABS light,Which would then disable the traction control. The ABS will reset itself when it sees no problem.

My lights stay on all the time abs, brake and track control

It sounds like you have a faulty ABCM or anti-lock braking control mechanism. 2003 was a common year for failure of this. Usually your car will drive just fine, however, your ABS and traction control might not work as well as there supposed too in a collision.

ABS light is on and Track-Off light is blinking

"ABS light came on and Track-off light started blinking"
This happened after I replaced the rear struts (shock absorbers") It turned out to be the left rear wheel sensor ($156.75). I must have damaged it when I replaced the strut. The way to check the 'rear' sensors is to remove the back seat to gain access to each sensor plug (2 prongs). Unplug it and check for continuity. If there is no continuity then you have a bad sensor, or an unlikely break in one of the wires. I checked for a break in each wire but they were fine.
