As title says I have all 3 lights on. I cannot turn the traction on or off not it stays off. I replaced the motor last week and it all worked before hand. Is there something that I did that may have cause this? Bad ground somewhere not hooking connector back up. I couldn't find a unplugged connector anywhere! Also this leaves me with no abs!
Any thoughts as to where I can start??
Thanks!

 

Start with the third brake light bulb(s). Since you replaced the motor, check the front wheel sensor wiring harnesses. Being to close to spark plug wires messes with the signals and can trip the ABS lights too.

 

Since you said motor, and not engine (your car's engine isn't a "motor"), I'll figure you're referring to your ABS motor. You have air trapped on the ABS side of the hydraulic system, and you need to activate the ABS motor to get the air out. You might be able to do it by standing on the brake pedal while driving on wet or loose pavement. But with the warning lights being on, the ABS may not activate. Then you'll need to activate the ABS with a scanner (Tech II for example) while you bleed the system. If you don't have the proper scanner, you're going to need to take the car in to get it done.

 

My bad Engine, I had a little Autozone scanner but didn't do abs go figure. I didn't unplug any harnesses from anything near that stuff except plug wires, knock sensor and wiring to could. But nothing directly from the abs!

 

need to know what motor,,, engine and year

 

Sorry tried updating it through my user-cp but im on mobile right now. Its a 97 z28 with 5.7

 

did you take "it" out the bottom. if you bled the brakes and brake light came on you can reset the brake light by pushing on the brake peddle really hard. if air got in the abs unit then its a spendy trip to the shop to have it done on a special machine.

 

No I did not, pulled from the top with a "happy hooker" from tpis. So I didn't not touch braking system at all.

 

wow i almost did it that way. then something got squished or hit. gotta get the light and mirror out and see what you can find. hopfully didnt damage the abs or tc , any signs of damage to them.

 

Not a bit, I don't have any power to the abs fuse under hood. Any reason for that? I checked fuse the other day, but finally pulled test light.
Btw I've pulled from top and bottom, prefer top if just engine. Trans will NOT come up with engine. I had to lower it back down and unbolt trans. What a pain, I'll pull off intake tomorrow and do more inspecting.
