Default ABS and Traction Control Problem?

So after driving the car for a couple of miles the ABS light comes on and then seconds later the traction control turns off. Is this the ABS sensor that has gone bad or could it be something else. Any help is appreciated

I had a similar issue in my 07 GTI. Turned out to be a bad ABS sensor. Have you had any brake work or suspension mods done lately?

My ABS light came after I did my rear springs and shocks. Nothing seems a miss, any ideas what it could be??
