Hey guys,
I have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Limited, and yesterday I hit a pretty rough pothole. Immediately after that, I got:
ABS light ON
Traction Control light ON
EBD warning light ON
Car drives fine otherwise, no issues with braking feel, battery is new and alternator is good.
I went to a local lube shop for a quick diagnostic, and they mentioned something about an “ABS motor code” — but didn’t give me the exact code number.
From what I understand:
A pothole impact is more likely to damage a wheel speed sensor or wiring, not the ABS module/pump itself
Before I take it to a shop, wanted to check with you guys:
👉 Has anyone experienced similar issues after hitting a pothole?
👉 Did it turn out to be just a sensor/wiring or something bigger?
👉 Should I be concerned about ABS module failure here, or is that unlikely?
I’m planning to get a proper ABS scan done to pull the exact code before replacing anything.
Appreciate any insights 🙏
