ok guys, i have a question for ya...

started about 2 weeks ago, when driving the Break and ABS lights turn on on the cluster and after a few mins the Traction control light will come on (only for a sec) and all 3 will trun off. once off it will remain off until the car sits for a few hours and cools down.

it does not seem that the ABS or traction control (when it turns on) is actually engaging.
this only happens when the car has been sitting for a few hours.
so this happens in the morning, when i go out for lunch and on my way home.

I have replaced my breakes (3 months ago), and it just started happening within the last 2 weeks. so i dont think that has anything to do with it.

any assistance from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What did you replace when you did the BRAKES?

Check your brake fluid. Also what size tires do you have on the car?
