After someone replaced my tie rod, my ABS and traction control keeps flashing after 45 MPH. And if I turn left. It was unable to drive really after 45 MPH. I thought the wheel speed sensor got damaged, so it was replaced but that was not it.

Hello,

ABS light can get triggered due to a bad sensor, wiring issue or the module. It can also get triggered if there is dirt and debris stuck between the sensor and the ABS ring.

Take a look at this guide, it covers the typical issues:

Since the light is illuminated, a good first step would be to scan and retrieve the ABS codes. Knowing the code can help with the diagnostics.

Here is a helpful video of how to retrieve the ABS code:

Let me know what code(s) you find or if you have any questions.
Thank you.
