okay so witrh no discernable change in engine operation, sound or performance the abs, service, and traction control lights come on simultaneously and stay on i can discern no real problem and code reader says no codes
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS????? OR WHAT ALL THESE LIGHTS TOGETHER MEANS???

service is on because something has failed such as say a wheel speed sensor
ABS is on because something has failed such as say a wheel speed sensor
traction is on because something has failed such as say a wheel speed sensor

all 3 are symtomes of a wheel speed sensor and some code reader wont pick up a speed sensor unless its VSS scan it at a dealer

probably a front sensor and there easy to change

My lights were on too when I bought the car, when I got it saftied the guy scanned it for free and told me it was my speed sensor.
Had my dad fix it but the lights are still on. My abs works so I don't know if it's just cause we can't clear it or what,.
But I'd check the speed sensor, I think I paid $30 for one.
