Trac off, ABS, and service vehicle soon lights on ?

i bought a used car so i dont know much history.

The trac off ABS and service vehicle soon lights all came on at once. Ive drove 75 miles since the first time they came on.

Im sure i should go get it checked out.

What could it possibly mean? Has this happened to anyone? What was wrong? What did u do? Did it get fixed? Did anything else happen with ur car when this happened?

    Trac off is the control of the wheels. It may have a swicth to turne it on. The location depend on the model amd make vehicle. ABS is the brakes. It means a sensor at a wheel has gone off. There are two main reasons; Bad sensor or the brakes have ware down to much. You only normal brakes with out anti-lock-up. Service could be because of the brakes and trac; or it could be due a oil change. It be a good idea to have amechanic check it out. It could save you money in the long run. It is worth to know you have a safe and sound vehicle to get you around.

    You hit a guardrail "head on" doing 55mph and in basic terms tousled the bumper and fender? RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT. Are those hubs new? it somewhat is damn low priced, $2 hundred to substitute a hub is easily low priced. The sensors interior the hub could be undesirable(back) or the wiring could be undesirable. The wires each and every so often destroy interior devoid of breaking the rubber protecting...i've got considered that happen plenty.
