Traction & ABS lights on

Yesterday morning as soon as I started my 01 TTQR "Gurgi" his traction light and ABS light came on. Haven't had the time to climb under yet but am asuming either a broken or unconnected abs sensor. Anyone had this happen before? Is it an easy look-see? Will I need a trip to the dealer for a reset?

Thanks for your input.

CEL too? Bad MAF will cause the traction and ABS lights to come on too. Don't know why.

Re: CEL too? No CEL just the other two........

Hi,

. Have a cheap code reader in my Rialta (small rv based on VW 's Eurovan) currrently in storage. Will take a trip and pick up on Sunday. Maybe it will help to solve the mystery.
