Hi Raymond. Thanks for contacting us today. If a sensor that makes up the ABS or traction control system is unplugged or removed, it’s common for the mechanic to download any stored OBD-II trouble codes after restarting the vehicle, removing and reset those codes and determine if there is a communication error or what codes are retriggered. It appears that this did not happen based on your input. However, it’s also possible that the root source of this issue is something wrong with the ABS module. I’d recommend having a different mechanic come to your location to look into this problem, by requesting a warning light inspection.
