| Abs tone ring cracks because of rust on the axle and then it spins on the axle and causes the abs to activate and the traction control to activate because it believes you are skidding. then the abs and traction control warning light activate to say there is something wrong with the system. after much research, this is a very common problem, is a design flaw, and is a safety feature for the vehicle. | |||
