service brake assist/traction control Ever since I put an intake on my car I get these damn messages frequent ly while driving which is annoying bc it cuta power for a aplit second as if I hit my brakes. Think it can be bc my filter is right above my tray? Theres no heat shield around my filter bc its not a k&n its an off brand

I'm having a similar issue on my car. The service traction control, service brake assist, service brake system lights keep coming on. It only happens when I drive the car for the first time in the mornings. The rest of the day it never comes on. I am wondering if maybe I have a loose or broken connection some where and the dampness in the morning is causing the codes.

It probably your wheel bearings on the front. Just jack it up, and put your hands on the wheel on the 12 o clock and the 6 o clock position. If there is play (wiggle) on the wheel then you need to get yourself a new wheel bearing. Also when you install it make sure you zip tie the plug or you will need a new one(bad experience)

So, it turns out I had bad wheel bearings on both front wheels and a bad outter tie rod on the front driver side tire. Forked out the 500 bucks to have all this fixed and guess what......... THE DAMN CHECK BRAKE ASSIT, CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM AND CHECK TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGES ARE STILL POPPING UP ON THE DIC. I have no damn clue what to do with it now. 
Wow.....******* wow. I did all four wheel bearings both inner and outer tie rods and end links for 275 bucks and an afternoon. Labor is highway robbery. If you took it in and wanted it repaired to eliminate that light and they did not, you need to take it back. Once again is your brake fluid full?

By the way. If your alignment is already good and your using oe parts you can just back the stop nut off the outer and measure. Then install the new on at the same length. And it will have the same alignment.
