Default ABS/Traction Control Light

Recently my ABS light and my Traction Control is turned off at the same time. The ABS light will light up first, then the Traction Control button will light up...(leaving the traction control stuck off). I try to turn the Traction Control back on, but it won't. Sometime this will happen for only a few minutes, then the ABS light will go off and my Traction Control with turn back on. But, sometime this can last for hours. Has anyone experienced this before? Is it an easy fix or is there something major going wrong?

clean off the exciter wheels and sensor spuds. you're not getting clear signal through one or more of the wheel speed sensors. It's probably one of the front ones covered with brake dust. You'll have to pull the wheels off and should pull off the brake rotors to get them properly cleaned. If that doesn't do the trick then one of the sensors is going bad... could be a wire could be dirt... that's the solution path though.
