Question Anti Lock brake and traction control

Any idea what would cause my ABS light, traction control light and brake light to stay on? And with these lights on, I am not able to use my cruise control. Any information would be appreciated.

Yep, there are several items related to the ABS and traction control system that could cause that error message, such as a bad wheel speed sensor, bad steering wheel angle sensor, bad brake pedal position switch, bad ABS module, etc. You'll need a higher end scan tool that can access the ABS system to get higher resolution into what the likely issue is.

Just went through this myself. I found that my drivers front wheel speed sensor wire had worn through the insulation due to some rubbing with the fender liner. Cheap easy fix. Like Sho said, it can be other things but maybe you’ll get lucky. Look at both sides carefully, from wheel bearing to the other end above the liner where it plugs into your harness
