Default ABS light/Traction Control issues HELP!

i recently got my brakes changed and ever since then my ABS light has started coming on. right after that light comes on, my traction control goes off. this has caused many near-misses. i have an SCT programmer, but its not throwing a code. im not sure what to do?? any suggestions?? please help! thanks!

I have had this same problem as well thats funny. My abs light is on all the time and the traction control button is always off too. I turned traction control off anyways with my handheld but the abs light is always on. I dont really notice anything different its just on what about you?

i dont think i have noticed anything with the brakes being different, but the traction being off is what scares me. i have already about killed myself multiple times just because the traction was off-even when i wasnt screwing around! the light doesnt bother me, i just want to find a way to keep the traction on, unless I turn it off!

I had the problem on mine, and it was a rear ABS sensor that the wire had rubbed through because I didn't notice it was rubbing on my wheel after I installed the 10.5" rear wheels. New ABS sensor ($70), and it was all good to go.

I drive with traction control off everyday but then again I live in california so the weather lets me. When it rains bad here its a sliding fest where ever I go but it did help when I switched my rear wheels for 10.5 Wide ones.
