Default traction control

When I turn the wheel left from a stop and gas it the traction control comes on for just a second then goes off. This only does it turning left. I have an 02 monte. Has anyone had this same problem? Could it be a wiring problem in the right wheel?

do you slide when you turn left or accelerate a lot? it sounds like just a wiring or sensor fault to me

I have a similar problem with my 02 monte SS. Sometimes if i crank the wheel pretty far when parking or whatever, the traction cntrl off light, check engine light and brakes light all come on at once, with a message to service traction control. After a while it will go out, or at least after the car is shut off and restarted. There is never any kind of driveability issue though, when these lights are on.

What all was involved inorder to replace the wire? Was it an entire harness? And if so, what was the name or part # ? Im really not experianced with electronics on modern cars, LoL! Im much beter at working on my 67 impala. Thank you for your help!
