Hi,

Shortly after a driving from Chicago to San DIego, DSC light and the ABS light came on. If it comes on, it will typically happen after about 9 miles or so (on the highway).

I tried the OBD-2 scanner, but the car isn't throwing any codes. The lights only come on when the vehicle is on and the engine is running so I don't think I can scan at the time of the issue. My manual says only scan with the engine off.

Any ideas what it may be, or what I should check next? I'll probably take it in to the mechanic soon so I'd like to have an idea what I may be in for.

Ok when it comes to abs or traction control codes and such a basic OBD2 scanner will not read them as they only read engine codes. So you will need to either buy a better scan tool that will or take it to a shop and have them read the codes. Once you have them post them and we will go over them ok. Thanks
