the abs and traction warning lights are not going out ive replaced the rear sensors as i was told it could prob be one of the rear ones if the traction control light was on could it be a front sensor or wiring fault

I would suggest the next step is to get a diagnostic test carried out which could point you in the direction of the fault.These can't be fixed by guesswork.hth

A diagnostic check where and with what kit?

cheap stuff tends only to talk to the engine ecu. You need something proper to talk to abs.

Otherwise I guess you are looking at a new abs/tc controller.

The Abs controller is attached to the main Abs modulator by the o/s/f suspension turret.No communication with the system usually indicates a power/earth supply problem to the unit or a fault within the electronic module.hth
