Not always BLS... although it's only a $12 part it's a easy part to change. But here is what I found. You need to have a ODBII that will also do ABS. Mine does have this and showed rear wheel speed sensor open short. On my 2013 Kia Sorento LX 3.5l FWD this sensor is on the wheel hub. I ordered two on eBay for $95 free shipping. Took all of 30min to change 1 and the lights went off right away without the need to reset.

Hi I just got into a accident with my 2013 kia sorrento. I can not close the door in the back of the car all the way. The door light on the panel on my dash board and the lights on the roof top of the car stay on. Is there any way I can turn these lights off temporarily until I get the back door fixed?

Got the same issue twice, my problem was abs downhill, abs and traction went on ; went to the dealer CHEVROLET AUTONATION twice charging me US 100 dollars each time, told me I have two sensors that failed just one week difference. Still do not sure if the problem is resolved or if need to replace all other sensors at US 100 dollars each time.

Get these checked out asap. Happened to my daughter's Hyundai Elantra and a week after lights appeared and went off the car caught fire in our driveway. We were lucky that we checked to see if garage door was down before going to bed. The issue was a short in the abs pump when moisture hit it.
