Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Park the vehicle on a flat surface and ensure the engine is off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
2. Scan for Trouble Codes
  • Use an OBD-II scanner to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
  • Note any codes related to traction control and ABS.
3. Inspect Wheel Speed Sensors
  • Locate the wheel speed sensors at each wheel hub.
  • Inspect for physical damage or disconnections.
  • Clean any debris or dirt from the sensor area.
  • Reconnect any loose connectors.
4. Check Brake Fluid Level
  • Open the master cylinder reservoir cap.
  • Ensure the brake fluid is at the recommended level.
  • If low, top off with the manufacturer's recommended brake fluid type.
5. Test ABS Module
  • Reconnect the battery terminal.
  • Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
  • Listen for the ABS pump operation to verify functionality.
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to check for any remaining codes.
6. Verify Traction Control Switch
  • Locate the traction control switch (usually on the dashboard).
  • Test the switch operation by toggling it on and off.
  • Ensure the switch engages the system correctly.
