THe ABS light and the traction control light will not go off, then the brakes lights come on..any reasons? I have 2002 LS V8 and have the same problem. At first my ABS lights came on and then the Traction control light came on. After a few days the parking brake has also come on. I brought my car to the dealer and they said that the front ABS sensor is bad. Awaiting for my car to get fixed. I hope replacing the ABS sensor will cure this problem.
ABS and traction control really are only for panic stops and if your tires slip on wet surface's and yes each tire has a sensor on it. However if the brake light comes on this has nothing to do with the ABS or traction control lights. It's not a parking brake light. This light tells you, you have a serious brake problem.

The traction control gets its information from the ABS system, so a faulty sensor reading will automatically shut down the traction control system.
It is common in this vehicle for the sensor to malfunction!
Brake system warning
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the START
position. Also illuminates if the
parking brake is engaged. If the
brake warning lamp does not
illuminate at these times, seek service immediately. Illumination after
releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake
system should be inspected immediately.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON
position. If the light remains on,
continues to flash or fails to
illuminate, have the system serviced
immediately. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is
disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning
light also remains illuminated with the parking brake released.

SOURCE: 2002 LS: aHow do I fill radiator in my V8 Lincoln LS...
First- to drain ,you can reach the drain valve,from the pass side,if you lay on the ground and reach up to the radiator. You do not even have to raise the vehicle up
Second- mix Yellow GO5 Coolant about 50/50 or 60/40. Do not use Green in a Ford or Orange GM
To Fill- Remove the front two plastic screw type buttons,from the engine cover
-Remove the cover
The radiator cap is on the front of engine,on top,it is plastic
Remove cap and that is your fill point
Run engine to warm and get thermostat open,as you would with any vehicle
Top off coolant,replace cap
VERY IMPORTANT-next to the Power Brake Booster,and just under it,is a BLEEDER HOSE;to let air out of system. Turn screw slot ,only a little,DO NOT REMOVE SCREW. When coolant runs out close.
Fill-Degas Bottle,to full line,with coolant.
Check the next couple days on resevoir level ( Degas Bottle)

took my 2004 lincoln LS to dealership for oil change
Was told I needed front brakes, brake flush and transmission flush. After all of these were done my ABS and Traction lights came on.I am told I now need to replace the left front speed sensor and the inertia switch for the fuel system. I had NO problems BEFORE I took the car in for oil change H E L P
I took my 2004 Lincoln LS to Lincoln dealership for oil change. Was tol I needed Front brake replaced, brake and transmission flush. Paid to have all done. When I picked up car the ABS and Traction lights were on. The Lincoln Dealership says I need to replace left front speed sensor and the Inertia Switch for fuel system.
Everything worked BEFORE they performed the Front brake job. Could they have caused the problems when they replaced the front brakes?
