hi sangus.....

it had new switch in the summer.... will have a look though tomorrow....

do you htink its that because both light came on...???

are the ABS and traction control on the same earth strap..??

Go to the search function and find "Service Brake System" thread, then go to post #15 - has all the information from the technical service bulletin on the ground issues. If you're lucky, this will fix it. If you're not lucky, you'll end up doing what I had to do, and replace the EBCM. Rather spendy to do but changing the ignition switch didn't fix it.

I had to replace the ABS unit on my R. They are rebuildable. So, you could pull it off and send it in for rebuild fairly reasonably, or do it yourself (I guess).

Where is the sensor located, how hard is it to get off, and who can do the rebuilding? Any information is greatly appreciated and I would love to get rid of that annoying buzzer and warnings.

I haven't had that problem with my SSR but had a similar one with my wife's Cadillac. (T/C and anti-lock brake lights were on)
Took it to the dealer and $830.00 later (and a new wheel speed sensor) the lights are out.
Hope you have better luck than I did.
