    Yup. Speed sensor, which is located within the wheel bearing.

    I would assume its probably a front wheel bearing since its affecting the abs and tcs. Havent had a chance to jack up the car a check them yet. Hopefully today sometime.

    Thanks for the help.

    even if they are mechanically solid, the sensor inside could be shot, i have 2 GPs like that right now -_-

    when the TCS light is on, that means the system is OFF, just so you know.

    and we have 4 wheel disc brakes with 4 wheel abs.

    So get the car scanned to see exactly what wheel bearing is bad.

    Yes I realise that. I was asking about the fronts because I wasnt sure if the tcs and abs were connected to eachother, as they arent on many cars. So figuring that way I was under the impression if the tcs wasnt working the issue was probably in the front end and not the rear
