abs, brake & traction control lights on at the same time

[mferek]

When my battery gets low or after I've disconnected it and reconnected it, these 3 lights usually come on and stay on until I've driven for a couple seconds. They usually go off by the time I've backed all the way down the dirveway. Is this the case for you or were they on while you were driving?

It happened to me, about six months ago. It turned out it was the gear of the actuator motor, on the transfer case. Opened it up, turned the gear 180 degrees put it back on, everything was fine. Then a couple of months later I got all lights again. This time I went under the car and noticed that the connector where some wires go, on the actuator motor was broken and the wires made intermittent contact. I used a tie wrap to secure the wires on the connector, and everything is OK since then.

sorry, i forgot to post that the lights came on again 2 days later.

its going in tomorrow to have the front left wheel bearing replaced, and diagnostics to find out what the problem is. i think it may be connected (wheel sensor ?)

i will post the outcome.

Metal shaving/filing from a bad wheel bearing can cause the sensor not to be able to read the exciter ring on the CV joint.

hi,
my mechanic mate took the car in today. it turns out that the lights were caused by a rear abs sensor, which is now sorted and cleared.
as for the front wheel bearing, he checked it out and there was no play in the wheel or any noise, so thats all good. but i remember the worn wheel bearing noise seemed to start straight after i had a slow puncture plugged on the front left tyre, so i'm sure its that.
