My ABS,TRACK OFF,CHECK ENGINE warning lights come on after the car is running for a minuet or 2 & they stay on. I do not notice anything wrong ,just the warning lights come on. They used to come on sometimes when I was driving & stay on but not always. I think I have a short somewhere & I'd like to know where to start.

It could be a bad ABS sensor. Have the computer scanned for trouble codes and let me know what you find.

I don't remember the code but it said I either have a bad ABS sensor, a short somewhere or a bad bearing in the rear wheels. I guess the best place to start would be to check for a bad ABS sensor.

Yes, start in the rear of the vehicle since the code may have indicated a problem there. Let me know what you find.
