Why does the abs and traction control light come on while driving your 1994 Pontiac Transport?

The computer has detected a condition that indicates a fault with the ABS/Traction system. Typically that's caused by a wheel sensor problem, but it can also be caused by a faulty connector, peripheral device or the computer. The above is the shop or garage answear. How about telling us how to fix the problem , besides replacing the computer or wheel sensor? How do we check these things? Sometimes can be as simple as a short circuit in the rear break lights or a faulty connection in the break lights. You can start checking the break light system. Then the sensors and finally the compter.


My 91 Honda accord has the rear brake indicator light onwhat does that mean?

This problem usually happens due to a faulty brake lamp. However, in some cases this light can come on from time to time (often just after putting the parking break down after starting the car) even though the break lamp is fine. A possible cause could be a faulty computer board but could very well be a faulty circuit somewhere. Bottom line is, if the break light is working and the light still comes on from time to time, just ignore it.
