Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Okay my my Trac off light came on and

and thought that was the problem in the

my power steering wouldn't work on turns so

what to do please help me or post a video
from YouTube that might help me.  Also i

Sounds like three possibly separate issues. 1) Noise from wheel - could be brakes or other suspension problem since it is still making noise but the noise could also be your power steering pump. Re-check the fluid level to insure it is full and also check the belt tension. 2) The Trac Off light tells you there is something wrong with the Traction Control system which uses the ABS braking system to maintain traction for the wheels and prevent wheel spin. This could be a simple sensor replacement. 3) The power steering surges could also be the result of low fluid or a loose belt (or a bad pump). Good luck.

Wheel speed sensor. One for each wheel in an ABS system located on the wheel disc or spindle assembly. A shop can diagnose which one is defective if that is the problem. Once replaced and the system is again functioning, the lamp will not energize.
