traction control light and TC off light stay on

I've had the cv shaft out, because a shop had installed the wrong cv shaft, i changed transmission oil, bleed the brake fluid with Dot 3 and all of a sudden I'm driving and the lights come on...the brakes start seizing only in the front.

I've replaced one caliper, both front pads and rotors. This hasn't changed anything, I think its the master cylinder, but I'm not sure why the TC light and TC off light are on...I think these have something to do with the brake problem, only I haven't been able to find out what else these lights would mean, other then the obvious.

okay so i have to revise this slightly...I have the slip/tsc off/engine light come on, the seizing brakes were fixed. my problem is that when i reset the codes and drive it around none of the lights come on, the moment i shut it off for five minutes then the lights come back on...I'm seriously stumped

ok, there are currently three threads on the first page about the same issue, does anyone even attempt to search before starting a new thread?

OP, change your abs sensor.

the check engine is related to the misfire on cylinder no 3 which is now fixed.

The slip/off TCS are the lights on the dash now but no ABS, yes I already read the other threads, randomly replacing sensors seams sort of expensive.

thanks for the suggestion nsnrider, but I'm not sure the abs sensor is the issue. If you know a way to trouble shoot I'm all ears
