Default abs in oper. and tcs lock out
awhile ago i noticed the ABS in OPER pop up. turned car off while driving started neve saw it again. Now everytime i seem to start it..it wants to pop on and say TCS off automatically and yucant turn TCS on. Then when stopping it says Low Trac. and abs wont work at all. but sometimes abs still does work...and if you beat the car and turn TCS off asap it is usally fine. anyone know where to start?

Dunno for sure, but first thing i'd do is make sure the wheel sensors are clean and tight.

Yeah, check the rears first. Unplug/replug them. Might not be your problem but something easy to check...

I'm having a similar problem right now. I don't have TCS ('95 Z28 vert), but when I brake below 10mph, low trac light kicks on, and power brakes go bybye until about 4mph, where everything goes back to normal. Just started doing this a couple days ago. PS acted a little strange last night, too... In the mean time, I'm just leaving a little extra difference.

Only thing you can really do to narrow it down is to check codes. Anytime the ABS INOP lamp kicks on, it will disable the TCS as well.
