sometimes when i drive the abs light and the traction control light illuminate when i drive, they both happen at the same time, and then they both turnoff at the same time. does anyone know what could cause this?
abs light and traction control

sensors going bad? check the brake lines? do you have different diameter tires by +/- 3% from factory?
Most likely could be your sensors, my abs light and traction light came on one time and had ford replace a rear abs sensor.
i don't know if this could be a problem or not but i had my ABS light turn on and off to eventually staying on and not coming off.. car felt fine and stopped great. Then i realized one of my rear shocks was shot.. after replacing the shocks it went off..
Oh yeah i cleared the codes before and after the shocks installs.

if your abs light comes on your t/c will automaticly disable itself illuminating both lights
anyone know a way to check to see exactly which sensor is out? mines been on since i bought the car
You cant scan it with a regular hand scanner. Somoene with an ABS scanner(ford stealership) can do it for a regular norminal fee.

oh okay, i will do that first thing in the morning, thanks for the info guys, didnt know this was a normal problem
I had this problem with mine too, so I checked both side ABS lines... turns out the my left ABS line was cut by my rims. The bracket that holds it in place bent a little too far out when I changed my springs to coilovers.... that was a stupid mistake but easy fix.
