Abs light is on when you hit the gas to take off the goes takes off then continues to go at idle speed and when it does that the traction control light comes on and starts blinking does it for about a min then takes off and drives normally dry weather conditions doesn’t do it all the time but when it does the traction control light blinks every time but the abs light is on all the time even when it is running like a new car only got 128.000 miles I drive it other day in the snow and it did it to off the bat and wouldn’t stop I could back up and try again would go little faster then would go back to idle speed I’ve come to the conclusion that it most likely has to do with the abs and traction control don’t know if the wheel sensor is flat or bad connection to sensor or so on I’ve been trying to troubleshoot this for a while not a macanic but think I’m close anyone might now please say check engine light is not on and scanner said no codes someone has replaced wheel batting’s idk

Hello, these warning lights being on and blinking is an indication of a problem with the traction control system -- which is also the anti-lock brake system. Diagnostic testing utilizing a tool that has the ability to check and monitor "C" chassis components is needed. The "scanner" utilized to this point likely does not have the ability to check chassis components.
