Question about ABS/TCS light on Y33...

Anyone ever have the 3 lights (ABS, TCS, forget what the third light is right now) on the left bottom cluster stay illuminated? I don't know if the brake sensor might be dirty or what but it constantly stays on right when I start the car. I'm mechanically inclined but never dealt with this issue before. The car runs and drives fine with no issues but I don't get why the light comes on....

I think that means the alternator is going out.... something with the charging system.

i think yo should pull hte lights.


TCS is dumb, and ABS isnt usefull really either
I never have ABS on my cars, i pull the sensors and the bulb

Mine is on because i removed the ABS sensors. I read somewhere about smudging the old sensor caps with dielectric grease and capping them off...or something of the sort. it should turn the lights off?

Definitely one of the ABS sensors. I broke my front driver side one when lowering the car and that is why my TCS, ABS, etc. are on as well.

EDIT: Third lights is "SLIP" for when one wheel is traveling faster than the other which I believe initiates the TCS.
