Abs light and traction control light are on

So my abs light and traction control light (the corvette leaving tire marks out lol) are on, 9/10 that means I’ll have to send my ebcm to absfixer right? Haven’t checked for codes yet will do in a bit, but if that’s the case then what codes should be coming up?…i don’t mind it as I always drive without traction control even in the rain but going to be selling it so want to get it fixed lol

You need to check the codes before you do anything.

Definitely check codes. Could be as simple as a wheel speed sensor.

Definitely check the codes. I had the same issue with codes C1222, C1225 and C1233. Turned out to be my R front hub/wheel speed sensor.

Some codes are fixable, others are not or difficult to get parts. AFAIK, ABSFIXER only does c1214 (a relay in the EBCM), but that is the most common one.

I just put new LED lights in rear brake....now I have abs and traction control lights on. My local guy says he gets no communication when hooking up to scanner.
Could LED lights be causing this?

yep. The reduced load causes issues in the system.

I was replacing a old LED that burned out, with a new one, (now its a mixed set) also replaced a rear drive side tire air pressure sensor, that wasn't training for for me.
solution?

I see now that you have a 1214 code. So you'll probably have to send it in to the ABS fixer. BUT-Before you do that, check/clean all your electrical connections.
