Why are my abs and traction warning lights not working?

If you saw “done” in the odometer display then unless any numbers were displayed before “done” showed up, then you have no codes and the problem was probably a one time occurence. I would suspect that the abs and traction warning lights will go out as well just as mine did today. Every Day’s a New Adventure!

Is there a break and traction control light on?

I ran a diagnostic on the OBDII port and it there is only one code: J1850 Bus short on ground. What does that have anything to do with ABS. And it has to be the ABS. No ABS, no Traction Control. Not sure about the Break light though. Any thought about what can be wrong?

How to check for code on ABS light?

Where are the ohms on a Chrysler minivan?

You should check pin 2 of the OBDII port, it should have something in the realm of 10k ohms referenced to chassis ground (pins 4 or 5). If you have lower resistance, you can unplug the ABS module, remeasure the resistance at the OBDII port, and see if the short is in the ABS.
