Default ABS and TCS Off lights are on

I was cruising at highway speeds (about 80ish) and all of a sudden my ABS and my TCS Off lights went on. Not sure why. Neither of them will turn off.

Was wondering if anyone knows why this happened and what I could do to fix it.

My friend said it might be the wheel speed sensors.

This happened to me a few weeks ago...

I went out and unclipped and re-connected the wheel speed sensors on the front wheels. They were pretty dirty and full of wet grout.... I cleaned them up a little and reconnected them. Got back in my car and the lights turned off immediatley. Haven't had a problem sense! Make sure to check everything out before replacing the wheel hub assembly (the wheel speed sensor is attached to the entire hub assembly).

That is the first thing to check, from there, you will need to have the ABS code read with a proper scanner. That will tell you exactly what wheel is giving the problem. From there you can diagnose pretty easily.
