Traction control activating on dry pavement
Hello All,
I have a 2006 Monte Carlo SS. I recently put on four new tires and a left front wheel bearing. Ever since I have been noticing my traction control and can feel the left front tire spinning. I get this when I am backing up out of my driveway and then when I go forward and turn the wheel to the left. I also notice when I am a stop sign and turning left. I am not accelerating hard just normal. Do you think this has anything to do with the new wheel bearing?? Any help would be grateful!!!

It could be a loose wire connected to your abs wheel speed sensor. It was happening to mine in a very similar fashion, when turning the wheels left and upon take off. I found that the wires had corroded, as they are placed in a less than ideal position, and when you turn the wheels they are pulled along with and run over top of the front axles (I believe it has been a while since I've dealt with them so forgive if I am a little off). But it made a grinding kind of sound when it started happening, and then the traction control light would start to shine

I second loose wire. I had the same problem with my car and it caused me to end up running a stop sign. Luckily nobody was coming but it scared me enough that I pulled into a parking lot and yanked the abs fuse. To this day I have not put that fuse back in. Car runs fine no problem. Just dont have abs anymore which to me is no problem because the first car I had was a 78 station wagon with no abs and I had to drive it in the snow so I was used to that.

I don't have to deal with inspections so I couldn't say for sure. I know that the ABS and TRAC control lights will always stay on if you do so you may get into trouble for non functioning equipment or something like that.
