Default Stability Traction Control & ABS Light

Stability Control Failure light goes on with ABS light after driving a while 1/2 hr but varies. Goes off resets when restart.
Any suggestions on this. Cleaned sensors already.

Maybe a sensor problem but could be a wheel bearing that's allowing more movement than it ought (i.e. is failing). Read ABS codes.

Thank you. Codes did not pick up any code history.

Many code readers do not pick up Jag ABS codes.

Sometimes a low battery will cause this, but that would show up right on start up not after a half and hour of driving. It could be the cold solder problem with the ABS module. A lot of people have had that issue including me. Try a search on "ABS module solder" or something similar.

I had the same issue. Couldn't track it until I had a reader on the car when the light was on.
