Brakes--Is it possible? Topic is solved

Is it possible that my ABS & tracs could have gotten messed up when I got my brake pads replaced? I had no probs with my 1996 850 until I got new brake pads. Now both warning lights occasionally come on & I can be driving on the highway & feel that ABS vibration under the car & suddenly those orange warning lights appear. The mechanic is unable to find anything & seems reluctant to look any further--he says if he has to get involved with the computer, it gets incredibly expensive (he thinks not worth it) -- anyone out there with any clues?

Get a second opinion. I wouldn't take chances with your brakes. If you don't stop you crash.. not good. It may be something simple he overlooked.

check for code. if it has vst code 443 pump motor or right rear speed sensor. you need a abs control unit
