Help - ABS and TCS lights on 99 TL

My wife now drives the TL and she stated that the ABS and TCS lights are lit up on the dash board. ALso she told me that it might be due to her hitting a curb the other day.

Anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it.

thanks

take it to your local dealership and have the code checked first.

don't just throw parts at it.

I would first check each wheel to see if a wire got ripped out, iff not you will probably have to bring it to the dealer to get a diagnostic done to see whats wrong. A auto parts store may? get the code and wouldnt hurt checking

I don't think generic scanners can check ABS codes.
