Default ABS light and traction control Light .

Neither my abs or traction control has worked for some time now.Not exactly sure when it happened thought after installation of fuel pump last fall but car was put away for winter then just brought it out again.

Disconnecting battery has no effect. Have lifted car up today and checked for any connectors not plugged in. Checked at back of car, front wheel connectors and connectors at abs block.
Have checked all fuses as well.
Also read third light can make it not work so checked that its fine.
So whay can I check now. I have multimeter if that helps. Can scan the car also if need be.
This is very annoying as its wifes car and she really could use that traction control.
This is not in my 99 but in my wifes 96z.Not sure if that makes any difference.So open to all ideas and suggestions.

Had the same problem with my 02 WS6. My problem ended up being my rear left wheel sensor was unpluged. The same problem would occur if the sensor went out. Have to get your EMBC (I think its called) read to see which sensor is bad.
