Help :( Slip and Traction Control light
My slip and traction control light came on after I install my rear camber toe bolt. Do any think it is cause by alignment? I just installed it and didn't do a alignment yet.
cant say for sure but check your brake fluid level if youre getting slip and brake lights thats the most common cause else it might be something that went wrong during the install, maybe some sensor wire or something.
whs, many times it's because of low brake fluid

Just checked it brake fluid is full. Any other idea? I'm starting to think it is the alignment since I did not do it yet. The toe might be too off which is causing the lights to come on.
I agree with kool. it may be a wheel speed sensor got damaged/disconnected/etc. during the recent install. The other thing that came to mind was a possible overall wheel diameter mismatch if you also made changes to your wheels and/or tires at the same time.

anyways I doubt it can be the sensor because I just check all of them and there is nothing wrong with them. So I'm still going back to the alignment issue. I will get one on Monday and update you guys on it.

Found this after doing some searching
Dang, that's gotta be some pretty crazy MISalignment if it's causing all that.
Hey, do you mind sharing how that works then? What about the alignment could possibly cause those symptoms. I just don't get it and would really like to understand it. Please share any info on this if you could.

Well before the alignment. My car had some much toe that it was throwing off the whole alignment. I had around 1.02 degree toe on the right passenger rear and -0.05 degree on the driver side rear along with 2.8 degree camber. So it was actually the toe that caused those symptoms to happen.
