Traction control + ABS Warning Lite 2003 Monte Carlo 3.4
#11
Good to know. This morning my abs light and traction light came on for the first time. Brakes seemed to work fine so I drove to work. When I got here and turned the car off, I restarted it and the lights went out. Hoping for a dirty connection at the sensor!

Unless the wheel bearing is noisy, then it is the abs harness. I went to eBay and bought two brand new abs harness($30 each) and the problem is gone. I replaced both hubs with acdelco and still the problem, trust me and replace or clean the harness connectors with electronic cleaner and electrical contact grease. The harness replacement are only a foot or so long but fix the problem and cheaper than a hub.
I had a problem with a '00 grand am years ago, I went through so many bearings before I gave up and let the stealership look at it to tell me it was the harness itself. I think on that particular car I was quoted $400 or so, so I just let the light stay on. I was also in my early twenties during that ownership period so I didn't care.
