Default ABS/TCS going crazy


Does anyone know why my car periodically does this? Sometimes I get one light. Sometimes I get all 3 (ABS/TCS/Brake). Seems to be more prominent when I'm not moving but sometimes it still occurs at lower cruising speeds before mellowing out. I tried to track it down to specific conditions but so far I've seen no trend. Sometimes it's fine, no problems at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good reason to buy a $250 Tech2 clone scan tool. All kinds of sensors.....wheel speed, yaw, lateral accell...that can make things crazy.

Load test the battery. Usually the root of all evil.

I had a TPMS sensor go out on my GS (dead sensor battery).

I got all the same lights off and on as you ... until I had the TPMS sensor replaced.

Actually just bought one recently but the software disc was blank and I live in the woods so downloading the software/VM has been a bitch.
