2004 Grand Prix - Service ABS, Service Traction Control

[FlyLike]

Today driving to work I was given those messages at the same exact time. I am led to thinking there is either wiring damage or the computer is dying.

When I got to work and turned the car off I took the key out and put it back in and turned it to the position before it cranks over the engine and the messages did not appear. I didn't try turning it back on though.

I am almost 100% positive it is a computer issue because there is no way both systems would have failed at exactly the same time.

Anyone know what this could be for sure?

Wheel bearing going bad... It isn't your computer...

Pull the codes. I would bet on the front hub being bad and setting a front wheel speed sensor code.

The sensor is built into the hub... IF the sensor is going nuts... 9.9 out of 10 times... The hub is going bad...

The wheel bearing is built into the hub... When a wheel bearing is going bad it tears up the hub which causes the hub to go bad also... :thefinger


If you really want to get techincal... You need a whole new hub assembly... :thefinger

Answered above....

I wouldn't worry about it if it went away, my 04 would randomly pop up but go off when the car was restarted. It probably did it 10-15 times over the 4 years I owned it
