<![CDATA[Pontiac gurus..or someone smarter than me...]]>Ok, My fiance has a :icon_puke_r:2001 grand prix gt...Just last week it started to light up "ABS" and "TRACTION OFF'. Now i tried turning the car off and turning it back on..and they stay off for a bit but then right back on again. I also tried reseting everythin with taping the pedal 3 times and it was on again but it took a little bit longer? Please if you guys have any idea any input would be greatly appreciated....cuz these freaking lights are pissing me off....!!!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Plan on putting a wheel bearing in there as it is a sealed unit and not serviceable seperately front or rear.

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..

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

that almost sounds normal...if the light is on then it must be on(duh)...maybe it knows or has sensors that sense(another duh) that, that function is needed for driving?....just a guess.

edit: I also hate pontiac...

Please stop posting. That is the dumbest thing you have posted all day. The lights turn on if there is an ERROR with something.

Stupid question..but would the ABS problem be because of a fuse???
