My ABS isn't working right now and I'm not throwing a code, and the traction control still works. BTW, ABS is a yellow (ABS) sign not a green wheel, that's traction control.

I'm making a guess here... but the traction control is computer operated- therefore there is a sensor involved. If the sensor is bad, you will most llikely throw a code. Take it to an auto parts store and they will read it for you for free.

It still throws me that your auto trans shifts hard. Cars with tuners typically do that and you can easily disable TCS with a tuner... but it sounds like your problem lies elsewhere.

Nope, the only light that is on is the service engine light, and that only seems to come on in the snow and rain. The ABS light never came on.

Yeah my mistake, it is yellow and says ABS .... dont know why I got that mixed up. And Im not throwing codes either and my ABS sensor is damaged. And when you say its not working .... why isnt it working? How do you know its not?

well, when I say I'm not throwing a code I mean my service engine light isn't on. But the ABS light is on... I must have messed them up when I took my iso's out of my springs this weekend.

Just get the code read when your light comes back on. It will tell you what is wrong. It probably has something to do with a TCS sensor.

I thought ive read before your ABS system has its own computer and thats why when its not working, it doesnt throw a code.
