Service Traction Control/ABS Warning???
That message just popped up this morning on the way to work. Any ideas on what might be the cause or thing to look for? When I get home I'll have the time to try bleeding the brakes and looking for leaks etc. If anyone had the same message what did you look for.
Thanks

Post any diagnosis codes and someone will help you.
The "diagnostic display" mode is entered with the following procedure:
Turn on the ignition but don't start the engine
Press the "reset" button to turn off any warning messages
Press and hold "options"
While holding "options", press "fuel" four times within a 10-second period
When first engaged the on-board diagnostics go into an "automatic" mode which shows all parameters: PCM-TCS-RTD-BCM-IPC-radio-HVAC-LDCM-RDCM-SCM-RFA. If there are no problems, you will see "no more codes" on the ICP display. The computer will show two kinds of codes, "current" and "history," designated "C" or "H". A current code indicates a malfunction is present in the system whose module is displaying data. A history code indicates a past problem. When the screen displays "manual diagnostics," select the desired module by pressing the "options" button to go forward or the "trip" button to go back. Press "gages" to go forward or "fuel" to go back. To exit the diagnostic mode at any time, press "E/M".

Yours could be as simple as the ABS sensor (any of them) that have corrosion in the connectors. May want to pull all four; use some dielectric grease and reseat.
