ABS INOP/ low trac?

Hey guys I was wondering is there any type trouble shooting steps to determine a abs inop or low trac problem? I own a 93 formula for the past few months every morning when I back out of my driveway the low traction light comes on briefly then goes off but recently the abs inop will come randomly but today the low traction light along with the abs inop light came on and when I applied the brake there was the sound of a rotating click coming from the front left corner of the car? I also own a diagnostic code scanner that is suppose to test engine and abs codes but nothing happens when connected? so I was wondering has anyone else had this problem? or know any of the trouble shooting steps to figure this problem out? thx henry

Yeah, it is a known problem, usually with the wheel sensors or a bad connection down there. I suggest first trying to remove and reseat the wheel sensor connectors and see if that helps. It could be a sensor failure, too, but try the connector first.

If you want to discover the trouble code(s), you can use my Scan9495 app to do that, with a little bit of work and an OBD1/ALDL cable. Let me know if you want to attempt it because it involves using a special feature.
