I had a diagnostic at AutoZone today, but it came back with no issues. I just purchased the car, and it came with a shift solenoid, but no error was detected during the diagnosis. I also have these service lights constantly illuminated on the dash: 1) Parking brake/brake. 2) ABS light [orange]. 3) Traction control light is solid orange. 4) Tire pressure sensor fault. The tire presser light came on after I put the specified amount of air.

It is also important to note that the diagnostic showed there were no errors in either the TMPS or the ABS system.

Hello,

Keep in mind that many times if the light is not illuminated during the scan, it will show no error.

ABS light can come on due to a sensor issue, loose connection or a bad module. However, unless you are able to retrieve the codes, it is difficult to know what the issue might be.
So, if the ABS light on all the time? If so, you should be able to retrieve the ABS code. And it is likely that the ABS and the traction control light are related.

ABS code retrieval is little different that the check engine light scan. The scanner must be able to read the ABS codes.

Here is a helpful video:

The tire pressure light can come on if the battery in the sensor is low as well as being bad sensor.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
