When does the ABS light and TC light go off?
The TC light should go off after a few seconds (mine is sometimes a couple of seconds, sometimes longer) and the ABS light wont turn off untill you’ve gone over a set speed, 5kmph or something like that. If the lights come on when you apply the brake during normal driving, that’s when it becomes a problem.
What causes the ABS light to come on?
The ABS fault can be triggered by brake switch failure, but in my experience the TC fault will not. If one of the brake pedal switches is stuck on you will get an ABS fault due to the conflict between the cruise control switch and brake light switch (when brakes are applied, one needs to be normally open, the other normally closed)
