ABS and traction control fault on Vauxhall Vectra

I have a 2000 Vauxhall Vectra and the ABS and traction control warning lights have come on. Both these systems do not work and I have been told it may be a faulty ECU. Any ideas?

The best way forward for this is to put the vehicle on a diagnostic check.
This should then show up a fault code ( ie P ---- 4 numbers) which can then be related to the problem.
