ABS light on and Traction control light on

[deicer]

Both my ABS and traction control lights are on in my car. I had the car checked and the mechanic told me that only my oxygen sensor before the cat converter needs to be changed. What can be wrong causing these lights to be on?

probably one of the wheel speed sensors

Tifreak thanks for the reply bro, i really appreciate it. Can I check the wheel speed sensors myself? If so how?

Nice TI u have there by the way I was looking at your profile if before you replied to my thread. Thanks again bro

check resistance on each one, otherwise the pump is bad.

Bad news today, I parked my car at work yesterday and I assume one of my coworkers who was hating and keyed it on the left side of the door and on the front fender. The scratches are very tiny and small so it is barely noticeable unless your looking for it. I will provide some pictures sometime soon if I can. I should be able to get these buffed out right? If not what else can i use on em?

[tiFreak]

you can try buffing them out, if not you might have to have a bodyshop fix it, sucks man, some people are just lowlifes

Thanks for the support bro..I will try to post some new pics as soon as possible and I'm still looking into the ABS and tracktion lights.

Where are the speed sensors located at?

Im sure there is more than one, but our cars have a wheel speed sensor located next to the dif. in the rear.

There are 4 abs sensors at every rotor. different from wheel speed sensors.

There could be many different scenario's to this problem. You can search and research. In the end, you will find that you need to go get your car diagnosed.

bad abs module? bad abs sensor? bad wheel speed sensor? cracked intake boots? get the codes and start from there.

Its a pain brother. I wish you luck and the best of circumstances. Also sorry to hear about the keying to your paint.

Good luck.
