Several warning lights have illuminated on my dashboard simultaneously, including the ABS, traction control, and a general warning light. I'm unsure of the combined issue and how it affects my car's safety.

{"value":"Brakes feel a bit soft."}

Are there any other symptoms you've noticed, such as changes in braking performance, steering, or unusual noises?

💡

Inspect Wheel Speed Sensors

95%Official

Visually inspect the wheel speed sensors and their wiring for any damage or debris. A mechanic can test their functionality with diagnostic tools.

🤖 AI Analysis

"Illuminated ABS and traction control lights, especially with a 'soft brake' symptom, strongly suggest an issue with the wheel speed sensors. These sensors are critical for both systems. The user's vehicle is a 2018 Honda Civic, which commonly uses these sensors. The fact that no recent work was done makes a component failure more likely than an installation error."

💡

Replace Faulty Sensor

90%Official

If a sensor is found to be defective, it will need to be replaced. This is a common repair for these symptoms.

🤖 AI Analysis

"This is a direct follow-up to solution 5855. If the wheel speed sensors are found to be faulty during inspection, replacement is the logical next step. Given the symptoms, this is a highly probable cause and solution."

💡

Check Brake Fluid Level

85%Official

Locate the brake fluid reservoir under the hood and check the fluid level against the 'min' and 'max' markings. Top up with the correct type of brake fluid if low.

🤖 AI Analysis

"The user reported that the brakes feel 'a bit soft.' This symptom, combined with the illuminated ABS and traction control lights, could indicate a low brake fluid level. Low fluid can affect both braking performance and the ABS system's ability to function correctly. This is a simple and common check."

💡

Inspect for Leaks

80%Official

If the brake fluid is low, it indicates a leak. Inspect the brake lines, calipers, and master cylinder for any signs of fluid leakage.

🤖 AI Analysis

"If the brake fluid level is found to be low (as per solution 5859), it implies a leak. Inspecting for leaks in the brake system is the necessary next step to address the root cause of the low fluid and the associated warning lights and soft brake feel."

💡

Scan for ABS Module Codes

75%Official

A professional diagnostic scan is required to check for error codes related to the ABS control module. This can help determine if the module itself is the problem.

🤖 AI Analysis

"While wheel speed sensors are a primary suspect, the ABS control module itself could be the source of the problem, especially if multiple lights are on. A diagnostic scan is essential to confirm if the module is reporting errors or if it's functioning correctly. This is a more advanced diagnostic step."

💡

Repair or Replace ABS Module

70%Official

Depending on the diagnosis, the ABS control module may need to be repaired or replaced. This is a more complex repair.

🤖 AI Analysis

"This is a potential solution if the diagnostic scan (solution 5857) points to a faulty ABS module. It's a more complex and expensive repair, so it's ranked lower than simpler checks and sensor replacements, but still relevant if other causes are ruled out."

💡

Diagnose Steering Angle Sensor

65%Official

A diagnostic scan tool can check the readings from the steering angle sensor. Issues with its calibration or functionality can be identified.

🤖 AI Analysis

"The steering angle sensor is often integrated with or communicates with the ABS and traction control systems. While less likely to be the primary cause of 'soft brakes' and simultaneous ABS/traction lights without other steering-related symptoms, it's a possibility that a diagnostic scan could reveal. It's a relevant component for these systems."

💡

Calibrate or Replace Sensor

60%Official

If the sensor is out of calibration, it may need to be recalibrated. If it's faulty, it will require replacement.

🤖 AI Analysis

"This is a follow-up to solution 5861. If the steering angle sensor is identified as faulty or out of calibration, it would need to be addressed. However, given the 'soft brake' symptom, this is a less direct cause than issues with the brake fluid or wheel speed sensors."
