ABS, Traction control and brake light??? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JMoore412 · 07-22-2014, 08:35 PM

I was driving my car today which only has 210 miles on it and out of the blue the traction control light, abs light and brake light came on. I pulled over turned the car off hoping it would reset and nothing all the light are still on. The car is driving and braking fine with no issues. E brake switch is working because the driving lights come on when I release the e brake.

Anyone have this issue? All I have done to the car is Greddy intake, Evo 3 exhaust, B12 cup kit and 57DR wheels with PPS tires.

I checked all the fuses they appear to be fine.

Seems to indicate a wheel speed sensor failure, or maybe low brake fluid? But that would normally only trigger the ABS light.

Sounds like you need some $Free warranty work.

I am bringing it by the dealer tomorrow just worried the shop that did the B12 cup kit, wheels and top hats messed something up. Though I feel it's best to go to the dealer rather than them since I don't want them messing anything else up.

It sounds like that install damaged a wheel speed sensor. Let's hope it's not.

I am guessing that will be the case I am rather pissed about this and taking it to the dealership this morning. Hopefully the shop that did the work is stand up enough if its not covered under warranty to cover it.

Used to own an IS300 that did this repeatedly during the summer. Never found out what it was, but from researching, it sounded like a wheel speed sensor problem, as previously stated.

I am wondering it the 17x9 wheels with the PSS tires could be also causing and issue with the traction control.

Very unlikely. It may be nothing damaged, there have been other people on this forum with ABS and TRAC issues on brand new cars due to a computer issue. The dealer will let you know. If it is due to the other shop, they should definetly help you out.

Dealer called and said a wiring harness came loose which caused all the lights. Guessing the shop never plugged it back in all the way. Cost me $95.00 going to see if the shop that did work to it will cover the bill but I doubt it.

Did you not like the shop any more? Why didn't you let them look at it?

Sounds like the shop is incompetent.

I never had to unplug any sensors to install my coilovers. Only time I had to unbolt anything was to remove my hubs to install long wheel studs, and that never involved unplugging the harness in its entirety.

I was going to let the place that did it look at it but figured if they messed something up didn't want them to do anymore damage. I live in an area where there are no shops that will even do lowering springs. I called 15 places and this was the only place that would do it. We live in the sticks and unless it is a truck getting lifted no one wants to touch it.

JMoore412 · 08-06-2014, 08:52 PM

Got into my car after work and the ABS, traction and brake light where on once again. Turning the car off didn't fix the problem so back to the dealership I went. After 4 hours the master tech had to call the help line to figure out what could be wrong. They are now saying it is the abs actuator that is causing the issue. Has anyone heard of this happening?
