ABS & traction control light

Post by Throopy » Mon Oct 26, 2009 9:28 am

The ABS and traction control light keep coming on together on my dash :shock: not when first started but after about 10 minutes of driving or sometimes not at all, anyone have any ideas?????? get paranoid when the lights pop up thinking it's going to cost dollar again???

I think a common cause for this is the brake switch, not an expensive thing to have fixed.
