A good scan tool that will read ABS codes should give a clue. Most common failure is wheel sensor, but the ABS pumps do fail as well. The scanner should point to which part is bad. Some parts stores have a good enough scanner to read ABS codes. Ask them.

My Traxtion and ABS lights come on at same time and noise come from front area of car. What does this mean?

Depending on what car you have. It's as though you have an abs ring/sensor fault, the noise you are hearing is the abs pump working this is because the gap between the abs sensor and the abs ring is to close, which make's the abs control module think that the wheel has locked up. causing it to open the valves in the abs hydro unit to try take away the pressure from the side with the fault.

What does it mean when stabilitrak and abs light comes on. Once this happen a few minutes later when I brake it makes a grinding noise.

Same as with ALL vehicle problems---
when you have a check engine light on

You stop using it
Check for OBD Codes
Diagnose your codes
Component test-- to find a problem
Make the repair

With or without codes-- you can Google
ABS Braking Systems,Trac Control & many other
abs add-ons-- to learn about them

What about reading your owners manual !!

Fail to see how using a vehicle with
brakes grinding, would be safe

Brakes have to come apart once a year
when you have no problems

Hi, the screeching noise could be a wheel bearing,if there is enough play in the bearing this could give a bigger air gap between the abs sensor and reluctor which would bring the abs/tcs lights on.

My honda 1993 have abs light on and sometime it has streaking noise for few minutes and stops by itself; also while noise is there lights get dimmed?

the shreiking is probably your belt, which might be loose, and the lights dimming could be the same thing, the belt loose

I am having trouble with the abs braking system on a 1998 chevy blazer. The yellow brake light is usually off for the first few minutes of driving and then comes on and stays on until the car is turned...

the yellow light is warning you that a problem exsists with the abs. unless you are experienced with brakes and abs would highly suggest you take it to a shop.

Have replaced ABS module on bmw 525 E39 and ABS now ok, but the ASC lamp will not go off on the dash and fault code 23 (incorrect coding) will not clear from system? Everyone told us the ABS ecu does not...

ABS/ASC module is faulty
CLASSIC ABS FAILURE SYMPTOMS:
- Most of the time, the problem is the ABS module or one of the 4 wheel speed sensors (& sometimes the brake pressure sensor)
- In my 2002 BMW E39 DSC, three orange (warning) cluster display lights lit, ABS, Brake, & DSC
- The 3 warning lights reset when the ignition is turned off, only to repeatedly reappear within minutes of normal driving
- The fault is often intermittent leading you to falsely believe you've resolved the problem (proper diagnosis is important)
- Sometimes the fault only appears when the engine is hot; other times only at speeds over 40 mph
- Carsoft may erroneously show a rear speed sensor failure; but just replacing the speed sensor may make no difference.
- All the work is in correct diagnosis of the problem; parts replacement is trivial (from 1 to six bolts in a few minutes)
- Hence, this BMW E39 ABS 3-warning light DIY will concentrate on understanding and diagnosis of the problem
