2025 Lucid Air Dream Edition: ABS and Traction Control Lights On, No Driving Issues

Vehicle: 2025 Lucid Air Dream Edition

My 2025 Lucid Air Dream Edition suddenly has both the ABS warning light and the Traction Control warning light illuminated on the dashboard. This happened after I hit a small pothole, but it wasn't a severe impact. The strange thing is, the car drives completely normally; I don't feel any issues with braking or traction, and there are no other warning messages.

I've tried restarting the car a few times, but the lights remain on. Could this be a simple sensor issue, like a wheel speed sensor, or something more complex? Is there an OBD-II code I should be looking for with these specific lights? I'm hoping it's not a major system failure.

ClearTheCode admin answer:

It's common for the ABS and Traction Control (TC) lights to illuminate simultaneously when there's an issue with one of the wheel speed sensors. Since your 2025 Lucid Air Dream Edition is driving normally, a faulty wheel speed sensor is a highly probable cause, especially after hitting a pothole.

  1. Diagnostic Scan: The first step is to get a proper diagnostic scan. An OBD-II scanner capable of reading ABS/Chassis codes (C-codes) is necessary. Common codes you might see include: C0031 (Front Left Wheel Speed Sensor), C0034 (Front Right Wheel Speed Sensor), C0037 (Rear Left Wheel Speed Sensor), C0040 (Rear Right Wheel Speed Sensor), or similar manufacturer-s specific codes.

  2. Visual Inspection: If you're comfortable, visually inspect the area around the wheels where you hit the pothole. Look for any obvious damage to the wheel speed sensor wiring or the sensor itself. They are typically located near the wheel hub.

Common Causes for ABS/TC Lights:

  • Faulty Wheel Speed Sensor: This is the most common cause. These sensors provide crucial data to the ABS and TC modules. Damage (from impacts like potholes), dirt, corrosion, or a wiring issue can cause them to fail or provide incorrect readings.
  • Damaged ABS/TC Wiring: The wiring harness leading to the wheel speed sensors can be frayed or cut, interrupting the signal.
  • ABS Module Failure: Less common, but a fault within the ABS control module itself can trigger these lights. This is usually accompanied by more severe symptoms.
  • Brake Fluid Level: A very low brake fluid level can sometimes trigger ABS warnings, though it's usually accompanied by a brake system warning light.

When to See a Shop: While the car may seem to drive normally, your ABS and Traction Control systems are currently disabled. This means you won't have the benefit of anti-lock braking in an emergency stop or traction control intervention on slippery surfaces. It's important to have this issue diagnosed and repaired promptly by a qualified technician. They can accurately read the C-codes, inspect the sensors and wiring, and replace any faulty components to restore full safety system functionality.
