    okay so i'm sure there is a billion threads about this somewhere. recently my abs and tcs light have came on and then then go off when i shut the car off and turn it back on. when i read the codes there isn't any. i suspect just a sensor or so i hope. but it seems like i'm having one problem after another. i noticed today when i was at burger king after it came on when i would brake i could hear a clunking noise what could that be? the end links are good, sway bars are intact, and the lca's are only like three or four weeks old. also i tried using google and the search feature here which we all know is useless but the clunking while braking is throwing me off.

    There are a billion threads, you're correct! Search & Google are very friendly...

    Its either one of your hubs, the connector/connection to the abs sensor wiring, or the wiring in the harness. 80% I'd say, a hub...

    Front hub is my guess.

    if you have no ABS codes stored which you may not if the lights clear out after restarting the car you may not have codes stored, maybe in the history or pending. next time the lights come on, leave the car on and have the ABS scanned

    it could be the electronic brake control module (EBCM) acting up

    if the lights come on and stay on, have the ABS scanned for the codes to find out if theres a problem with the wheel speed sensor/s in one or more wheel hubs...it may still also be the EBCM causing havoc
