Hey guys-- quick replies will be much appreciated since my laptop is busted and the library only lets us use these computers for an hour. =)
I started up my 1997 Mark today (85k miles), pulled out of my driveway and the ABS light turned on and the message center said "CHECK TRACTION CONTROL." I immediately pulled back into my driveway, shut the car off, turned it back on, and drove up and down my driveway making quick hard lefts and hard rights back and forth to see if it would mess up again.
I don't think I hit anything that might've messed with that, but I want to check to see what you guys think. The traction control and ABS messed up before my lower control arm went out last time (yes yes, I know my faults, please don't reprimand me for that again ) but there hasn't been any squeaking at all since I got it fixed.
It's just that since it happened like that once, I'm wary of taking her out for a drive just in case these lights/messages are forewarning something major going wrong. Luckily, though (I think), my '96 hasn't sold yet so I've still got that one to drive around. haha
