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.

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.
