ABS, TCS lights on car goes mental!!

[damo toledo]

(toledo 1.8 20V AUTO 2003)

ABS and TCS lights came on and car slowed to 5mph auto speed (even with foot to the floor)

Stopped left for 10 to 15 minutes...started it again, it started OK drove 20 yds or so

then car alarm went off with all lights flashing and not many revs as if it was gonna return to the 5mph auto speed

any1 know how to solve this?

first plan of attack would be to plug in diagnostics and see if there is any previous recorded issues or broken parameters the ecu has recorded

might help narrow down any possible causes and give you an idea where to start

check over all your lights and levels etc first to make sure all is well

Lights and levels ok, no previous recorded issues or broken parameters
