ABS, Traction Control light
Just paid for a diagnostic, was told had to take to a Mazda dealership - and they want to charge me another diagnostic even though I have the codes.
Just the ABS light and the Center traction control light are on and I have no brake lights at all. Find that weird but somehow think it is related.
C1953 Master Cylinder Pressure Sensor Circuit Open
C1290 Pressure Tranducer Circuit
Those are the codes I am pulling and I would appreciate if anyone had any pointers to suggest.
Replaced battery, did ecu reset, steering wheel reset completed, to no avail.
Thanks everyone for any and all advice you have - Hoping it is something simple.
Will be checking fuses later tonight and bulbs.
One side note - intermittently, when I first turn the car on and put my foot on the brake, I hear and feel, just once a metalllic spring in the brake pedal then all is good (with the exception of the lights being on and no brake lights)

Bump. This is something that is happening to me too.
This is EXACTLY what is happing to me.
Yes, there is another thread - but it LACKS the exact scenario of this one. So, I want to know what this problem is, as this could happen to anyone.

Ok we found the answer. In this case it was the fuse labelled "STOP".
I didn't notice it the first time I looked through all my fuses, but yes its blown.
Replaced the fuse, and my tail lights turned back on, got my ABS working again, the CEL disappeared and the traction control CEL also disappeared.
Seriously.... a 75 cent fuse caused all this trouble?
To test it, I swapped the fuse with another one of equal resistance, so right then and there confirmed it was completely on the fuse, as the reason why this happened.
Damn.... here I was driving around for 4 months trying to find out the short, or the break, or the plug, or the ecu terminal points, or the brake pedal switch, or the tail light bulbs themselves.... and none of those things was the cause.
Just a 75 cent fuse..... man.
