Have you checked the obvious yet?
Make sure all of your sensors are in good working order?
Did you have this problem before you bought the car?
what has changed? IE new brake pads, slammed into a pothole?

Hi, Mafioso (Como estas??)
The sensors look good. I only change the brake pads, but the start before break pad change!!..
The ABS light is ON and the Traction Control Fault. What next??

As you have engine-related codes too, ignore the brake codes for now.
hmm... you have quite a few codes so could you have a failing battery? It's the usual cause. The next cause is water in the trunk (here we say boot). Check it's not wet or damp near the spare tire (tyre) / battery / fuse box / modules in there.

No, codes!!! I run the car and verify the codes... the only one is the P0795... but it's new and in the other post people says me is a transmission problem...
But, what happen with the traction control system?

The TC could be caused by a jerky gearbox, maybe. TC/ABS/DSC has its own module and you need a dealer-type tool to read it. If the P0795 persists I think you'll be overhauling the gearbox (fairly cheap).
