    ah shit my crystal ball is in the shop getting fixed right now
    well i guess u'll have to do it the hard way.

    get a scan tool on it, find out what wheel is at fault, and what fault it is.
    then get back to us.

    it is a complete guessing game untill u know what fault and what corner it is

    LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE IN A WELL PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT, SHOUTING ' HOLY SHIT.....WHAT A RIDE'

        its a gm....they all do that in the winter...well they're all supposed to..

        the abs dont work unless they need to, like in winter, when its slippery. Thats why its on .

        otherwise, the abs sensor is bad, or disconnected, or a loose connection..

                IF it is the sensor (which unless a wire is broke I'm sure it is). Plan on putting a wheel bearing in there as it is a sealed unit and not serviceable seperately front or rear.

                    Dont blame pontiac or Gm for that matter. ALL vehicles have their issues. And no matter what you drive, your bound to encounter them.

                    Tell ya what, leave the car as is. Put the keys in the ignition, put the signed title in the glove box, and back away very slowly. Gimme a holla and I'll come up there and dispose of the problem for you discreetly. I wont even charge you for it. Consider my service a gift from one friend to another.

                          Pontiacs(more like the grand prix/ams) burn through wheel bearings so fast. But if the abs light is on it is most likely a wire. Still if you are in there throw a hub in even if its a china one.

                            Call me tomorrow. I do not know how indepth our scan tool will do for ABS stuff, its not the pontiac one. But its not your average one.

                            You know where my shop is, I'll see what we can do. Most likely is an ABS sensor. GPs HATE them. If is a wheel bearing you would be able to hear it, like on my Jeep. We can put it on the hoist and such.

                            Diesel repairs or performance products.

                              Most likely a wheel speed sensor is either bad or the connection is corroded. You can try to clean the connections and see if that goes away or take it to someone who has a Tech 2 scanner to pull what sensors are defective.

                                I pulled the codes. It was the RF wheel speed sensor.

                                I also pulled a code for the Fan relay. MIL has been on since car hit a deer. They said they tried to fix it, gut keeps coming back.
