I drive down road and my ABS and brake lights comes on. My lights go crazy, power steering goes out then car shuts off. I got brand new battery and alternator and it did the same thing.

Hello, I'm Danny.

The way your car is running means a diagnostic fault code should be stored in your vehicles computer with the abs- Anti-Lock Brake System. Just a basic check engine light code reader will not be able to access codes. Here is a YouTube video from our site that explains a CAN type scanner that can read all systems on a vehicle and also a CAN tutorial for you to view:

After you perform this kind of test on your vehicle get back to us with the code information with the abs faults and we can then properly diagnose the issue your car has. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
