what cause the lights ?

stlmo_gtp · 03-30-2008, 10:57 PM

ok until now i thought that the tie rod end was the problem but i am still not sure, here is what is going on my ABS light and Traction Control Light come on at the same time,and there is a shake in the wheel. and here is the check list i have already gone threw:
1.checked my brake fluid, bcause i heard that can cause the ABS light to come on.
2.Checked the tie-rods by jacking up the car, and shaking the tire but there is no play
Does anyone eles hve any idea's of what could be going on ?

Sounds like a Wheel bearing to me

You need a new wheel hub, the bearings have gone bad in it. I had the EXACT problem happen to me, the ABS and low trac light both stayed on and the car would shake really bad at speeds of 65 mph and up. Get a new wheel hub on there and clear the DTC codes with a ODB II and you're good to go! Best of luck to u!

the obdII scanners wont clear out the abs codes, but once you make the problem go away, the light wont come on... the code will just be stored as past history

yea i was kinda hopping that, that wasn't the problem but on well seeing as i got the same answer from everybody i think it is pretty safe to say that it is the problem

yeah... it's a pretty sure bet.

the ABS light coming on 'cuz the sensor is messed up, and the traction control cant function without the ABS, so the trac off light goes on, too... so it's a dash light partaaay!!

heh

Has anyone suggested that it is possibly the wheel bearing?
