ABS and Traction Control lights on

Hello everyone. Would really appreciate any suggestions on this issue I am having.

ABS and Traction Control lights on all the time. Got an oil change last Saturday and the tech clear the codes and they came right back on. He told me I needed a new ECU.

I would greatly appreciate if any of you can suggest things I should try. Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks a LOT.

Looks like #11 may be my problem. Can't believe it. I am going to replace them and I really hope this fixes the problem.

I will post as soon as I know more.

That was it. The LED brake lights. I just change them with regular OEM light bulbs and problem fixed.

Thank you Jedi54 and Mazurfer.

Mazurfer, #11 did the trick.

Cool................glad it helped!!!!
If you read that whole thread you may discover that using a certain load resistor may allow you to use the LEDs. I got lazy and have LED's everywhere except the 3rd brake light and no issues.

Hi

I have a similar problem, but found that my abs pump is running even with the ignition off and key removed.

Any advise?
