Two days ago I drove her 250 miles. No warning lights or symptoms of impending doom. The better half drove 100 miles yesterday, Same thing. Today at start up I get the ever familiar ABS warning light and the advance trac off light is flashing. Never seen that one before. And to top that I hear a klunk and a grinding sound after traveling approx. 20 feet. This is a new one on me. Thanks in advance for any and all input.
 






Check your brakes to make sure your calipers are still nice and tight.

If you have an ABS sensor or computer fault it’d likely not be able to use AdvanceTrac (it wouldn’t be able to detect slippage/locked wheels).
 






If you have access to a Bluetooth code reader, you can download Forscan Lite to a smart phone and it might tell you which wheel is having the issue. I just pulled mine and found out that my issue is on the left rear, rather than the front, like I had thought.
