Default Low traction and ABS problems after wheel bearing install

Anyone heard anything about this?

I sent my car to a local shop and they did a shock absorber change and front wheel bearing changes. Now the car has the low traction light come up every 20 secs and abs will suddenly kick in..

Any ideas on what this might be?

This is on a 98 ls...

You may want to consider the ABS wheel sensor wires being broken, or incompatable with the new hubs..

The hubs are the same. They only replaced wheel bearings..

WHat i have noticed with a scanner is that at low speeds, the front wheel speed sensors will read 0. The teeth are fine... but i have really no idea and don't get the issue...

Too much of a coincidence for both sensors to go bad.
They read perfectly over 6mph. but under that, they tend to be a bit hectic.

Return it to the shop for a diagnostic. This may have resulted due to their repair.
