Default Traction/ABS warning lights

These two lights keep going on at the same time. I restart the car and they go away but return after 30 mins or so. I just talked to my shop and he said last time that happened he had to replace the module and that would cost $800 for the parts alone. Ive read a lot of people have had these problems, but nobody puts how much it cost for them to fix it or even what the exact problem was. Can i get some help please???

"The grounds, and
connector's for the ABS could be the problem. Also disconnect
and clean the ABS electrical connector. There is a grey lever
on top of the connector that will disconnect the connector.
Also you might see a white plastic insert, that needs to be
pulled out from the area where the connector is attached to
the EBCM. The connector uses a male, and female type locking
connection. You should be able to disconnect the connector
without removing the EBCM, or any other part. Clean both ends
of the connection with an electronic spray cleaner, CRC makes
a good product. Most auto, hardware, and dept stores carry
CRC products. Also look at the fuses under the hood, there is a
20, and 40 amp fuse for the ABS. That might be part of the
problem. Most of this work is more time consumming than costly.
After doing all of this, spending $1000.00 plus dollars for a new
EBCM might be easier."

You might have a wheel speed sensor bad, but you really need to put a scanner on it and find out what codes are being set for the ABS and Traction Control, because traction control uses your ABS valve to control traction. Had this problem on a fix a while back and turned out the ABS valve had a bad actuator in it and had to replace valve. Not cheap either. []
