What if the traction control and abs lights go on at same time there is resistance in brake pedal sometimes I can get them to off by restarting engine?

There are several possible causes for the traction control and ABS lights to come on at the same time and for there to be resistance in the brake pedal. Here are a few things to check:

- Brake fluid level: Make sure the brake fluid reservoir is full and that the fluid is clean and free of debris. If the fluid is low, add some DOT 4 brake fluid.

- Brake pads and rotors: Inspect the brake pads and rotors for wear. If the pads are worn out or the rotors are warped, they will need to be replaced.

- Wheel speed sensors: The wheel speed sensors monitor the speed of each wheel and send this information to the ABS and traction control systems. If a wheel speed sensor is damaged or dirty, it can cause the lights to come on.

- ABS module: The ABS module is responsible for controlling the ABS and traction control systems. If the module is damaged, it can cause the lights to come on and the brake pedal to feel spongy or hard to press.

If you are not comfortable checking these things yourself, you should take your car to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.

Here are some additional tips that may help to get the lights to turn off:

- Turn the engine off and then on again.

- Press and hold the brake pedal down for 30 seconds.

- Drive the car at a slow speed for a few minutes.

- If the lights do not turn off after trying these steps, you should take your car to a mechanic.
