Hello
When these lights come on and stay on the systems control module is alerting you to the fact that a malfunction has occurred in the system, the system also records a fault code(s) in the memory of the ABS/Traction Control Module, (traction control is the same system). The first thing that needs to be done is to find out what these code or codes are, blindly replacing parts would be very expensive and likely not fix the problem. You will need to seek dealer help or a shop that has the proper electronic scanner to test the system, then you proceed with repair based on that fault code data. It is likely you have a speed sensor problem at one of the wheels, which one the test will indicate, remember it can be the sensor or the wiring to the sensor or the control module it self that is causing the problems.

A little acrobatic exercise for you............

1/ Put the Key in the # 2 position .

2/ Hit the "MI" button on the dash twice .

3/ Put the Key in the # 0 position (key out position) within 10 seconds of hitting the MI Button .

4/ Press the MI Button and turn the key into the # 2 position at the same time. There will be a confirmation noise .

5/ Release, Smile...and be on your way, your all done. !

fastest most reliable way to find out what parts are interchangable is to call your local wrecking/recycling/junk yard.... they have books that deal with that issue.
