Hi
Im having a problem finding the problem with the abs and traction control lights being on.
Ive tried a T79 code reader and it has not found any codes.

Get a code reader that does ABS, what area are you in?
Maybe a member on here can read it for you.
If not any good garage will have one, £20 - £30.

Hi
Just brought the truck back home after have the battery left off over night.
All lights had gone out, after driving for a mile or so traction control lights came back on but no ABS.
Stopped and waited about 30 seconds restarted with no lights on.
So is it worth taking to a garage yet or is there any info about this.
Thanks

Hi
Just had a look.
Turn on ignition all lights on ABS and traction control x2.
Lights go off after 2 seconds no need to start engine.
After starting all lights at the moment stay off.
I don't know for how long.
Thanks

Hi All
Lights have been back for a while on and off.
But now coming back on more often than not.
Any new info around about this problem.
I did check the wheel sensors last year and all were within working readings.
Seems to happen when cornering or on roundabouts.
Thanks

Are you getting both of these yellow lights on at the same time?

They don't usually come on together if it's a mechanical fault. Mine started to come on when I used a cheap obd reader than I suspect was a Chinese version. It actually caused the lights to come on and only by disconnecting the battery for about 30 mins or clearing them multiple times with my reliable wi fi obd reader would they go away. If you're not using a Bluetooth obd reader than I would suspect a sensor or electrical fault.

The reader I have is a T79 and this cant see the fault.
The lights were coming on before I purchased it.
I also have the engine management light on but this I can clear just haven't as it sometime goes off.
So will have to try the disconnection of the battery.
Any other info on this problem will be useful.
Thanks

Hi All
Just realised its not the ABS light this problem was an earlier one and is now sorted.
The problem I have is the traction control lights coming on.
Truck starts and all lights go out as they should (except for management light).
After driving a distance, this can be anything from 1/2 mile to 10 mile the traction control lights both come on and I lose power to the engine.
Hope this gives you a better idea of my problem.
Thanks again
