Thread: Service trac / ABS lights on

I have the same problem just replaced my steering rack and both my stability and traction control lights are coming on sayin they need service not sure what is going. Do we have to do something to remove that when work is done ?

if the light were off then you did the rack and the lights came on, i'd say you may have pulled a wire off from one of the hubs or in the harness, i'd start with checking your plugs at the front hubs.

well this is the weird part when i first turn the car on it is fine when i start to drive it thats when the message comes on saying Traction control off service required and then after that it says Stability control off service needed. This is so freaking weird. I check all my cabling and it doesn't seem like it is unhooked.

try pulling the plugs off and cleaning them up with some electrical parts cleaner and hit them up with some di electrical grease.

odd part for me was i did a power steering pump and my abs light went off, my guess is that i leaned on the wiring at some point. and i was thinking pass side front hub because it has more play in it than the other 3 hubs.

then i did my rack and my trans started shifting much better. these cars are funny little characters.

I will say my abs light come on once and it kind of freak me out cause i know that aint cheap. I have to say since i did my rack my car feels a lot better also in the shifting department will do the electrical parts cleaner and the di electrical grease. And when you say this cars are funny you mean they are wakkos when it comes to one problem might not even be that problem it might be something tiny. hah
