Default Traction control and abs light

What can a 2004 with 9k cause the traction control and abs light come on. Thanks for any info.

Pull your codes and post up. Hold Options and press Fuel 4 times. Codes will flash up on the DIC.

If you get C1287/C1288 code, that means the swps is going out. Just had to replace mine on my 2004 coupe. Seams to be a common problem on 04's.

I don't think 1277/1288 would set off the ABS light. Probably an EBCM issue.

It is not what you would call a rare problem, search the code. Check the connector coming out of the hub first. You may get lucky and it is just disconnected or the wire pulled loose.

You can get these from a voltage issue. I have a 03 that I have on a battery tender and I drive a couple times a month. I use to get traction control and abs light whenever I first took car out. After I drove for a bit, shut off car, restarted and I wouldn't have the traction and abs lights. I was adviced that it could be a voltage issue and to try direct wiring of the battery tender before I try more expensive options. I direct wired the battery tender and sure enough have not had the issue since and it has been over a year.
