All right, so I have a 2001 Audi TT and when I park it overnight in my Garage the ABS/Traction Lights will kick on after about a block. But when I park on my driveway overnight, the Lights never turn on (unless I turn Traction off)

Do you guys have any idea why this would be happening? I just find it off that my garage would trigger the issues.

Non Heated Garage in Illinois. Gets Cold as Shit in Winter, and Hot in Summer, but the Lights go on year round when parked in the garage.

Bad sensor? Does it Turn on after/during turning?

Bad electronics more than likely. This series of TT was very renowned for having faulty electronics- usually happens after 10 years. I had the same issue with my 01 TT Roadster back in like 2010(?).

Ended up having to replace the instrument cluster - but mine was also showing a fault for engine coolant.

Shit, hope mine doesn't show an engine coolant light, that I would take serious. The ABS, doenst bother me at all.

Thanks for the input guys.

Check for heavy brake dust buildup on the magnetic end of all the sensors, had that issue recently on my Beetle (basically same system) after a quick cleaning I haven't seen the light since.

If it's a bad sensor tho, replace both of them on the axle. When one goes the other is known to follow suit in time :)

Someone at that garage is beating the fuck out of that car and putting it back nice.
