My ABS light, low traction and service engine soon lights all come on but do not seem to effect the braking power of the car. They were coming on intermitant but are now constant. I was told it had nothing to do with my brake pads but they are all just changed recently. Please help. When putting on the metre to find out a reading of what is wrong it comes up no codes.

This is not a brake pads issue, it is an abs issue.

There is probably a signal that is being sent to the abs management system that is incorrect due to a sensor, harness etc problem.

The computer watches the wheel speed of each wheel. When one goes out of spec, it will throw the lights and disable the ABS.
