Question ABS and Traction Control lights on SOS

A few months ago after changing my front tie rods (inners and outers) my ABS and Traction Control dash lights came on several miles down the road. I was able to resolve this issue by cleaning the wheel speed sensors with electronics cleaner.

Recently I changed my rack and pinion, which finally fixed the clunking noise I was originally troubleshooting but the lights are back on. Even after cleaning the sensors again they remain on.

I do not have drivers assisted functions like cruise control, nor ABS. This started to become a real issue when my brakes locked up during a hard stop and created a nice flat spot on my brand new tires.

I have tested the resistance of the wheel speed sensors and they work. I have checked for damages to the wiring and have found nothing.

The only other lead I have is possibly a vacuum leak in the ABS system? A symptom of the rpms dropping so low during a harder-brake that it almost stalls. This has only happened a handful of times though.

Any ideas on what it is?

Contrary to the dash lights, it's not running any codes.

I am desperate for the cruise control for I have a very long road trip ahead of me.


Anything helps, thank you!
