Hi Frefdie. Thanks for contacting us tonight. If this warning light came on after a rainy day, then it’s likely that you have an ABS or traction control sensor that is damaged or an electrical harness connected to the sensor that is exposed (or frayed). The best way to diagnose this issue is to have a professional mechanic come to your location and complete a warning light inspection.
