For the past week the ABS and TRACS lights have been coming on periodically (both come up and go away at the same time). I hadn't experienced any difference in braking until today. I was slowing down for a stop sign and I felt the brake pedal kick up like the ABS engage. It was a normal stop, not full pedal. About 5 minutes later I was slowing down for a speed bump and it felt like the power brakes went out. The pedal kicked up. I still had braking power but I had to press like a mother for the second and a half it was off. I checked the brake fluid and it's at its normal level.

Any diagnoses? Thanks!

 

Any codes? Sounds similar to what happened when I had a wheel sensor go bad.

 

I don't have a code reader or whatever it is. I looked in the manual and it said nothing about the two warning lights (ABS and TRACS) coming on at the same time. Sorry I don't have any more info.

 

Greetings,

For that type of problem, the dealer is the only place that have code reader/scanner (unless you can find a fancy OBD-II scanner: On-Board Diagnostic Second Generation, a tester that can retrieve fault-identifying codes from your car's computer).

If all else fails, try this guy:
