So I was driving home from work and my ABS light and advance track light came on. Then the 4x4 started to flash. When I got back in to town I shut the car off looked at the wires for the speed sensors and all looks good. I started it back up and all light when out. But I still do not have. Any suggestions?

Good morning.

The ABS system has a fault with the light indicating on your dash. That code is stored and needs to be checked. A parts store can read it for you for free. Once we know that code, we can help narrow the area of failure for you. The most likely cause is the wheel speed sensors but that needs to be confirmed.

When the ABS is off line, the Trac and four wheel will also be off line. When the ABS system is repaired, they will come back on line.
