    2016 tundra traction control and ABS light just came on. I was backing up my snowy driveway and my traction control and abs lights came on. Has this happened to any of you? What’s the fix? Any pointers ? Thanks

    Function before sparkle.
    Wheel speed sensor is the most common cause of this condition.

    If the light persists after cleaning the undercarriage check the wiring.

    FYI only - I washed the salt off my undercarriage in very cold temps of single digits. A couple days later, I pulled into a snowy parking lot and put the brakes on only to get all the flashing lights you had. I stopped the truck, restarted and drove a little and the lights stopped. It happened again the next day but quit again. Then we got a significant warmup and the ABS light, etc never came back on. I'm only assuming that something got froze up around the ABS sensors on the hubs when I sprayed it down in the cold. I looked up new sensors and they were a bit over 40.00 for all 4 and the are easy to change. But never got that far. Just FYI here. You mentioned snow and I thought I'd share.
