Default Service traction control system...

I'm having an issue with the service traction system message popping on. I start my car and if I make a sharp right turn the service traction system message pops up along with the abs light and traction off light. I turn the car off and it goes away. It only happens when I make a sharp right turn. I read somewhere that it could be a wiring harness by the tire. Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it?

Could be your left front wheel hub assembly going bad, or the connection for that plug.

It will grind and say traction active sometimes when I'm turning and not even spinning. Could that be the hub assembly?

yes, there are wheel speed sensors built into the wheel hub assemblies. Sometimes the connectors get dirty, or the sensors start to go bad and the car thinks one tire isn't spinning properly so it tries to kick the traction control on.

Since the tires are all spinning fine, the traction control whines and then turns itself off because it thinks something is then wrong with the TCS.
