ABS/Traction Control Failure

[StuartJ745]

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I have a 2001 LS-V8 with about 75K miles on it. Last week while driving the amber ABS light followed by the "check traction control" warning came on. About 5 minutes later the red brake light came on. The next day no lights, no errors....everything appeared to be fine. About 3 days later the problem re-appeared and has been with me every since. Any ideas? I've heard it could be the wheel sensors, but how can you tell? I pulled a wheel off today and located the sensor. They look fairly easy to replace, however I don't want to start throwing money at this and not fix the problem. I appreciate anybody's help. Thanks!

Check your tire pressures. Seriously.

If that doesn't do it, might be wheel sensors

I have the same problem going on right now. Some days it is fine, sometimes it starts right when I turn the car on and sometimes the lights come on when I hit a bump and the car dips.

I am going to try the tire pressure today. Any other ideas if that isn't it?

Wow thats wierd, this happened to me on Saturday, but all three lights went on at the same time. I thought it was an electrical glitch them all coming in together.

I checked the tire pressure today. It wasn't the problem. Where are the wheel sensors?

Any other suggestions

Take it to a mechanic who can do a scan. I'm sure you need a new sensor or some other part.

Can the Xcal2 pull codes from the car?
