Svs - Abs - Trac Off
I had all these lights come on at the same time, and now they are always on.. Any idea? Bad ABS sensor? Thanks for any help.
|
Alternator dieing gets my vote.
|
14 + volts still.. Nothing seems wrong.
(Wouldn't that be a volt warning light?) First time it happened was after a pot hole. |
That happened to me , it was a bat Intake Air temp sensor. Have you driven much since they came on? Cause about 15 after they came on for me, my car started shifting like I was being hit by a mack truck...
|
mines a 5 speed.. I was on the hwy.
I had that before for the IAT.. But only the SVS and TRAC light.. No Abs.. This is definatly weird.. |

Thanks for everyones help.. I was able to get it in today, turned out to be a bad hub and bearing.. Replaced no probs! Thanks GMPP again!
|
Now I'm having a similar problem. The 3 lights aren't on each time I drive the car though... When they do come on though, it's usually within 1-2 minutes of driving. I'm guessing its the hub, too.
|
ya Kyle, mine is doing it again, another bad hub. They come on, but not consistently.
|
I have the same lights as Molson and Kyle come on after after a few minutes of driving which probably means its the hub. My question is, if I don't fix this issue right away what could go wrong from it? Im a little low on cash right now and was wondering how long I could leave it without it damaging anything else. I have no noise coming from the front end, I just have the lights.
|
Should be ok for a while. No noise yet would mean to me that its its the early stages of bearing wear. Once it starts sounding like a jet taking off, its time for a bearing.
And don't go to GM, you'll take it up the hoop. Get an aftermarket one, same quality (if not better, knowing GM) and half the price. |

Had the same problem with mine, I took it into the dealer they told me the ignition switch. YEA RIGHT, then it came back on again shortly there after and took it to my bro at NTB and he told me it was a bad hub and fixed it for me, no noise, no lights! :o)
|
mine did that....i got under and wiggled all the ABS sensors and havent seen it since....

Carquest sells a bearing assembly, for around 150 I think (CDN) its a 30 min job, tops. |
Well here's where my complete lack of suspension knowledge will shine...
I bought the piece, took off my wheel and got ready to replace it. Then I noticed that there's a snag at the bottom of the lower strut mount bracket that was catching the sensor's wire and smashing the wires between it and whatever that piece is below it (the thing that the steering arm connects to). I pulled the wire out and made sure the wires were intact. Everything runs fine now and there are no more lights!! My theory is that the connector was being tugged loose when I would leave my neighborhood (lots of speed bumps) and that is why it would only come on when I left home and not anywhere else. I would suggest that you check this out before you buy a whole new piece like I did. It couldn't hurt to replace it, but it may not be necessary. |

Is Carquest and actual place or do I have to order it from the internet? |
My new wheel bearing assmembly cost me $115 USD installed. God its nice having a mechanic in the family, parts for cost, and free labor!
