    I kinda have the same problem. my abs light and tcs light came on the same time but my tcs stops my tires from breaking loose but have no pulse when I stomp the breaks. And I havent gotten them to go off. All the shops I have taken it to say "open circuit" and there is nothing they can do.

    If the lights are on, TCS isn't doing anything.

    Then they're idiots. We really need the actual code, but that sounds like a faulty wheel speed sensor code which will disable the system. Could either be bad wires (usually the issue especially on the front wheels) or a bad sensor itself. The code will say exactly what wheel is being affected.

    find one who has a certification, or license he will help, if they don't use a scan tool, they are not mechanics, they are parts jockeys

    Agree with the rest, if the ABS and TCS lights are both coming on, then you have an issue, most likely, with a wheel bearing or wheel speed sensor. Get the ABS code read to tell you exactly what the problem is.
