I drove through a 10" puddle of water and shortly after that when I stopped the brakes shuddered like the ABS was working even though the road was dry. Then the ABS and Traction Control Off lights came on. I waited a few days for things to dry out and the I removed the wheels and checked all the wiring. It all look fine. I removed the battery cable to reset any codes, the lites stayed out until I moved the car about 100 feet then they came on again. Any Ideas?

It appears that one of the speed sensors on one of the wheels has failed. These can be tested with an ohm meter but I do not know what those value parameters are.

You might also check the relucter rings they read off of for a damaged tooth. One tooth damaged is all it takes to alert the system to a problem.
