Electronic Stability Control - Auto Diagnosis Repair Help

Cou;d be a speed sensor/ABS. Cutting hard left or right is causing one wheel to move faster than the other. Slight variations will cause a traction light. Over time this will cause the ABS light to come on. I wouldn't worry about it right now. It would be hard to pinpoint the sensor that is going out. Just a note. When the ABS and Traction lights are on. All it does is revert your car back to the old system. Meaning that, your tires will lock up if you hit the brakes hard...

check the angle of the drive way and the speed you approach it as the wheel may loose traction and stop spinning which immediately activates the ABS system to release the brake action on that wheel

Hello, this is normally caused by a wheel speed harness going to one of the front wheel speed sensors. this requires a high end scan tool that reads real time data to isolate which harness is at fault. or you could just replace both front harnes. cost is about 75.00 a harnesss. takes about 1 hour per side to replace

This is usually a break in one of the front wheel speed sensors harness. this requires a high end scan tool to check out which one is at fault. make sure both harness are secure and plug into sensor good. without a scan tool, about the only option is replace both front harness

Usually caused by a wheel speed sensor on the drive wheels. Check the sensor mounting, wiring, and tone ring for damage.

is this the front brakes doing this?? or the rear?? i would recomend changing pads and rotors and drums(rear) and shoes(rear)

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.

Keep in mind that Traction Control applies the ABS to the individual wheel when it spins too fast, slowing it down to the speed of the other wheels so that it can gain traction.

sounds like maybe a wheel speed sensor or a broken wire to the speed sensor.
