small problems abs etc

Picked up a P Ultima 2.9 24V yesterday, couple of questions, first the abs light goes out when ignition turns on as it should, but once I move it comes on, is this a fault or is it doubling as brake wear? (cant see a seperate brake wear light) traction control light comes on after initially going out, from what I have read this is correct but can the forum confirm? My handbook is in the post 
So far very pleased and fuel consumption coming from Harlow to Gloucester was very good about the same as when I used a Mk 3 granny to N Wales.
Also how easy is it to obtain the remote fobs? only key I had was the black one with a red dot
Many thanks in anticipation
Bob

hi and welcome
you worded your question slightly differently on g&s! 
are you saying....
both the abs AND the tc lights go out after the start up tests?
then BOTH come back on as you move (without pushing the t/c button)?
hth
btw, the handbook in here.

Yes sorry about that, on turning ign on both go out then as soon as i move they both come on, I can control the tcs with the switch on the console while static but not one on the move.

points to a faulty sensor. as i said, check the rear connection under the seat base first.

Just an update, think I now understand the traction control i.e if light on system off, light off sytem working flashes when kicks in. This morning I tried the system out by starting up lights out and then reversed fast on packed snow (at work with plenty of safety margin) wheel spin then it kicked in an light flashed. SO I am assuming that it is a case of checking the connections under the seat and then down to the hubs.
Also the seat bely light flickers and comes on during driving, any thoughts, seems like a connection problem.
