03 grand prix 3.1 problem

[jtheripper211]

Hi I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the deal is with my car, it's an 03 pon. grand prix with the 3.1 engine. The issue I'm having with it is the abs and traction control (off) light are both on. any ideas why?

most likely a wheel speed sensor
did you try to push the the trac button and see what happens

 

[jtheripper211]

yeah I did and nothing happened, light stayed on.

 

[dpzelenak]

yea then its more then likely just a bad wheel bearing, have you checked to see if any of them are bad?

 

[jtheripper211]

just put new front wheel bearings, both sides, in january, maybe the rear ones are going bad?

 

[dpzelenak]

always a possibility but i don't think those have wheel speed sensors but check all of them again just to make sure

 

[jtheripper211]

wll do thanks!

 

[dpzelenak]

not a problem,
keep the thread updated on what you find out

 

[jtheripper211]

so what did you find out? mine starting the same thing about a month ago

 

[jtheripper211]

My wife hit a curb and broke the wires going to the sensor somehow, fixed the wires and problem solved.

glad to see you got everything sorted out

The rears have to have wheel speed sensors other wise the abs wouldn't have a signal to know when the tire is locking up.
