    My abs light keeps coming on when I start my 2002 gp gt. I am getting codes C0036,C0040,C0245. When in park they are reading 2mph. Not a huge deal but it turns off traction control and with the rain we will be getting I don't think that's a good idea. Weird thing I have found though is, if I just turn the key and start the car, the abs will come on almost every time. If I turn the key over jerk the steerking wheel in either direction then start the car the light will almost never come on. Any ideas on that? I'm pretty sure the hubs are still under warranty but we are tired of changing them. Is it common to go through them like crazy? Since owning the car in 2010 I have put probably 6 or 8 hubs. First bunch were cheaper raybestos from rock auto. Most recent are the more expensive skf hubs from Napa. Anything I can check or try, or if the speed sensors go out I'm out of luck and need to replace? Thanks in advance.

    Year of the car would help, but if it's 01 and down then the harness from the hub to the main loom is 2 piece, meaning there is a section of harness that runs from the hub up to the loom and can be removed, not all one run straight to the hub itself. I've had issues w/ this in the past on my 00 GT. Found that about 4 inches of wire from the hub side of the connector back was shot. Corroded and dry-wire. Replaced it w/ a used harness and all is well. Might want to start there.

    Might have the 2 piece still. I'd check the plugs at the wheel bearing and work backwards.
