ABS and TCS light won't go away!!!
Hi guys, I just had this problem 3 hours ago. I was turning out of a parking lot doing barely 5 Km/h, heard a clink sound and all of a sudden the ABS and TCS lights are both on. I tried to pull some speed and lock the brakes, but the ABS did not kick in. I tried the same thing with cornering and the TCS did not kick in either. Upon returning home I checked all the fuses and did all the ECU and ABS flash/reset I can find and still could not fix the problem. Could anyone think of reasons other than system error or possibly broken parts? And also is there any thing else I could do to fix this problem?

Try this but I dont think this will fix anything; Next time you get in your car, turn the wheel all the way to the far right then all the way to the far left then back to the center. See it that makes the lights go away lol
If not sounds like a cable snaped off. If you can, take your wheels off and check all the cable connections that hook up to your suspension. One of them is for your ABS.
Did you run anything over?

Thanks guys, I found the problem very next day. The Problem was that the a sensor cable was snapped in half. That's very strange, since the cable is tucked under the plastic under body mud guard on top of the front right wheel. Now I just have to hunt down a cable or even a unit including the sensor, swap them and it'll be fixed.
But honestly without the ABS and TCS the car is much more fun than usual; on the other hand, if I'm involved in an accident, the insurance will not cover.

How do you figure even if it's turned off that insurnace wouldn't cover you in the event of an accident? Do you have some special rider on your insurance policy concerning this or something?
