Pontiac Grand Prix Forum : “Warning lights and traction control”
Warning lights and traction control
myt abs light and traction control go off whenever i start my car. my park brake light used to come on but doesnt anymore. i took it into my dealer and they said i would need a new sensory harness. does anyone know any other solution?
The lights should go off when you start your car????? If the lights stay on, then there is a problem! I guess I am not understanding the problem????
the warning light for the abs stays on constantly. and the light for the traction control stay on constantly. meaning i have no abs and traction control. dealer said it is the sensory harness. never specified. but they said it would b about 250.00. and i cant afford that
Have you actually taken it in to get a diagnostic on it yet? If not do it and the computer will log all the errors and then you'll have a way better idea.Sometimes it's a problem with a dirty sensor on your braking system that sets these off,and you can clean it.Have you tried spinning the tires to see if the ta light goes off and back on again? If it is the harness then you can find a used one but I think it's be better to spend the 250.00 for a brand new one that is warrantied.Let us know what you find out so us other GP people have an idea in case anything like that should happen to us.
Good Luck!!
Your wheel bearing and sensor ring is all one piece. Easy to change. Most likely the problem since they did not give specifics and the cost the quoted you. Will need to know which wheel is tripping the light. Only a good auto service center would be able to access it. Hope that helps.
