TAKE CAR TO A GARAGE OR DEALERSHIP HAVE THE ABS BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL CODE SCAN.YOUR ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WILL COME ON ADJUSTING BRAKE PRESSURE TO AVOID A SKID.THAT WHY LOW TRAC LIGHT COMES ON. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN YOU SEE LOW TRAC LIGHT DRIVING ON DRY ROADS PROBLEM IS IN THE ABS BRAKE UNIT OR BAD WHEEL SPEED SENSOR.

brake fluid light goes on when the fluid is low. The traction control light may go on as well if the module detects a fault in the traction control system. The abs light may go on at the same time as the trac light if the wheel speed sensor is not sending a believable signal to the abs/trac module.

If one of the wheel speed sensors is faulty, or a hub is bad, that can cause the problem described.

Good luck on repairing this problem.

ANY TIME ABS LIGHT OR TRAC LIGHT COMING ON THAT MEANS EITHER ONE IS NOT WORKING NOT GETTING NO OR ENOUGH POWER.CHECK ABS FUSE AND RELAYS. IF RELAY AND FUSE OKAY.MAKE SURE YOUR ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE OUT PUT AT BATTERY SHOULD BE 13.5 TO 14.5 VOLTS IF 11.0 VOLTS DUE TO VOLTAGE REGULATOR FAILURE. THAT WILL CAUSE ABS AND TRAC LIGHT TO COME ON.IF ALTERNATOR CHECKS OUT OKAY.TAKE VECHICLE TO GARAGE OR DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE TO SCAN THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM.

Chances are, you have a traction control system that is ABS-controlled, like most vehicles. (The other is transmission-controlled.) For this to occur, an ABS sensor may have gone bad. This will cause those lights to come on and for the ABS/trac system to basically shut down.

You also may want to check the ABS fuse to be sure it isn't something easy (and cheap) like that, which might be at fault.

I hope this helps! :)

Well, try having the car hooked up to a diagnostic machine. The abs light usually comes on with the cavaliers. my wife has a 96, and the same thing happens with the abs. As for the etf light, I dont know what etf is. Is that suppsed to be atf? That would be tranny fluid if it is.

MAP stands for manifold absolute pressure. It will not cause your abs to come on. The systems are totally separate. When your abs light is on it only means the abs is turned off, and reg. braking is active.

The rotten smell comes from the cat converter. It is probably time to get a new cat installed and it may take care of the map sensor code. though you can't promise.

Hope this helps

The steering wheel position, wheel speed sensors, and ABS systems are all used to provide traction control. You likely have a failure of one or more systems. Scan the ABS system and it will provide codes to help the diagnosis. Wheel speed sensors fail often, and it is likely one or more of these is contributing to the problem.

I will bet money that it is the ABS/TRACS module. It is mounted under the master cylinder on the bottom of the ABS unit. These are very, very, very common failures. I have replaced hundreds of them in my career. To answer your other question, the TRACS system uses brakes. For example: in the snow, when the L or R wheel is spinning faster than the opposite, the TRACS will apply brake to the spinning wheel to slow it down to an equal speed. Hope this helps.

look for any wires touching under the hood. possibly change throttle control. check the abs plugs one at each wheel . check engine light is most likely on due to the transmission issue
