I changed the front / rear pads on a 1995 cadillac seville. After the completion, the dash now shows the following: “traction disabled” and the ABS light stays on. Can anyone help with this?

Your traction conrtol and ABS system both use the wheel speed sensors. My guess is that one was either inadvertantly unplugged or perhaps even damaged during the brake job. Exactly how I cannot guess, but it’s a direction to go in.

Thanks , thats what I was thinking but wasn’t sure. I guess I’ll have to pull the wheels and check em all. Thanks again.
