As for the lights coming on without moving...here's my theory. I think that the ABS sensor is located on the wheel bearing assembly therfore when the bearing goes bad it affects the ABS sensor. once the sensor is bad the light will come on. track control needs the abs system to work so when the sensor goes bad it is disabled too. SVS light is there...I think just to remind you that you have other lights on and you need to check it out. I'm no mechanic but I think that's how it works.


If your ok with driving without abs of traction control for a while then I'd wait for the sound to be heard before changing the bearing. That way its easier to tell which is bad.

hope this helped



Best adice in a while..

The sensor is in the wheel hub, it measures movement in the bearing.. desplacement, side to side..

when your car is still, you must be in the bad spot on the bearing, to trigger it.. You'll hear noise soon enough I bet..

Just replaced mine two weeks ago..


Drive it for a while... it'll start making noise in 2-4 weeks is my guess..
