Traction control and slip light stuck on

I recently dynoed my car and as usual when i drove off the vdc and slip light and abs light were on but went off in just a few seconds of driving. I then turned it off and everytime i start my car now my lights are off but when i get over 20 mph my traction control and slip light come on and stay on. The vdc button doesnt do anything. Ive unplugged my battery and tried to clear it with Cipher but Cipher doesnt pick it up. Ive read that it resets when you turn off the vehicle and it does go off but then comes back on when i start driving. I just put new brakes on this spring so I doubt its brakes. Let me know.

That makes sense, I had headers put on and the steering column had to be taken off and we have put it on a couple ways but its still a bit off. I just need more time to get it right. Since it has to be put on a lift it takes time. Thanks!

Did the alignment fix the problem? I'm having the same exact issues...

Check your break fluid level. I had the same issue after a break job and the fluid was in the middle of the range. Topped it up and no more issues.

Topped off the brake fluid... still coming on... so it might be an alignment issue... seems like everytime the front wheels slip from a bump they come on.... maybe a bad sensor.... having it checked tomorrow those three lights aggravate the hell out of me... Any one know if wheels would have anything to do with it?

just traction control? Is it just flashing? Are you just slipping...?
