Seriously though, could be a wheel bearing or a broken wire for the ABS.

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.

They are probably both related. Fix the wire/sensor/wheel bearing.

Any ideas on how to fix this guys???

I just told you.

[Turbo5Oh]

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

[itRfan]

New info...My fiance told me that when she was on interstate they never came on...but today with me driving in town they came on???? Oh and i will have to do that turbo50h!! Thanx for the advice guys i appreciate it....FABER!!!! you got a scan tool if im not mistaken...Can you hook me up???

[RidinRails]

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..

ok i may be way off but when my pontiac did that it's because my alt. or battery was going out after a while it got worse then my car just died....... pontiacs FTMFL!!!!!

[2gTSIGUY]

abs sensor indeed. check for bad connections like this one.

[itRfan]

Alright im gonna have to that..again thanx guys

[weshole]

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.

[itRfan]

Yea we just replaced the the passenger side wheel bearing last spring....God these pontiacs are JUNK!!!

[weshole]

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.

Bring it down to the farm...we'll give it a proper send off in a blazing glory of AK and AR rounds...maybe a cannon or 2...

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.

[KA-T_240]

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.

[lglarum]

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.
