ABS/Trac Off Warning Indicator

[MoldySpore]

In the past 3 or 4 weeks, once when sitting at idle and once when I was driving, the ABS light came on my dash and the "Trac Off" indicator started flashing. Once was today, the other was several weeks ago. When I shut the car off, in both instances, and restarted it, they lights were off and were fine. There was a large gap of time between the two occurences. I think I remember a third time probably about 2 or 3 months ago, after installing my intake, it came on a few days after it was installed, while sitting at idle, and again I shut the car off and restarted and then it was fine again.

anybody had this problem? the manual says that it is a "problem with the ABS system" but i went to toyota not too long ago and everything checked out fine. and i get tune ups regularly.

could this have anything to do with the intake/exhaust system i put on?

Thanks in advance for the help all

Hey check with your local auto parts store, i dunno if new york has an autozone or kragen but they give free code readings with their scan tools. Find out the codes and go from there.

Had the same problem after a new strut install - was a bad ABS sensor at the wheel

[MoldySpore]

hmm...bad abs sensor...that sounds about right. ill go to autozone and have em check it anyway.

just out of curiosity, how much did that sensor run you?

yeah.. I had the same problem.. it was the sensor.. that thing cost more than $100US, don't remember how much exactly, but it is pretty expensive
