Masterabs failure will disable the esc. have the code pulled, diaged and repaired. the esc will come back on line.
the wheel speed sensors are the most common failure.Roy

Rookieroy the shop said it was a hydrolic something part. It connects the abs esc brake light symbols. And they said it was a 1800 dollar part? Could that be correct. Im gonna go to my local guy and have him check it out. The part price was given by a kia shop.I had new tires put on the car a couple weeks ago and then the lights came on not too long after that. So that makes me think its a wheel sensor? What do you think? thanks for answering my question. And if this doesnt get fixed what could happen? Thanks again michelle

MasterIs it covered under Kia warranty? Kia as a car manufacturer put a lot of great technical information and work shop manuals on line for free for Kia owners. www.kiatechinfo.com
