#9 of 23 Control arm bushing separated on 2003 Grand Prix by garuda Oct 10, 2006 (5:08 am)
Hi    I was told the cleft front ontrol arm bushing separated on my 2003 Grand Prix, but I have not feeling anything abnormal while I am driving except when I press brake I can feel some vibration like ABS.    Should I repair it immediately ? what's the consequence if I delay the repair?   Thanks.
#10 of 23 01 GP GT wheel bearing replacement - ABS/trac light on by johnnymm Oct 24, 2006 (11:11 am)
Changed the rear wheel bearing with no issues. Since then, the ABS light is on and my traction control is off. I cant turn it on. I have rechecked the sensor connection on the bearing hub, it seems to be ok. Unplugged the battery for 4 hours to reset the computer, hoping that would work but it didnt. Steering also feels sluggish - any idea what to do short of going to a garage? I have heard about an over the counter ABS "computer" but not sure if that will work.

#11 of 23 05 GP GT: service traction/var eff steering/abs by tempala May 10, 2007 (2:04 pm)
My 2005 Grand Prix GT just turned 41000mi and now intermittently displays "service traction system/service variable effort steering/service ABS" (never says anything about basic brake system, no brake light ever comes on). Anyone experience this or have a clue what is going on? All 3 systems couldn't have gone bad simultaneously! I hope this isn't a bad computer module.
#12 of 23 05 GP GT: service traction/var eff steering/abs by jeremers May 23, 2007 (5:07 am)
My 05 (which I just purchased last week) is doing the same thing. It will tell me every now and then to "Service ABS/Service Traction Control/Service Variable Effort Steering." My ABS Light comes on and the Traction Control Disabled light comes on.   Any ideas?

Replying to: jeremers (May 23, 2007 5:07 am) Just went and picked my 05 today with the exact same lights on. It was the right rear wheel bearing, and the right rear speed sensor. The lights were cleared and have not come back on as of today. It was still under 36,000 so not sure of the cost factor. Hope this helps!

Replying to: jeremers (May 23, 2007 5:07 am) Hm... I think I also have a same issue. On end of January, I bought 06 Grand Prix GT with 16,000 mi ( at that time it was great, my best car ever). I have nothing problem with it before the mechanic replaced the intermediate steering shaft. They said it was recall thing and of course it was under the warranty. After that, tapping and knuckling started through the steering ( actually the vibration also came up while braking). When I took in, the mechanic replaced wheel baring because it worn out ( this really did not make sence). the vibration was gone but the tapping remain. I had taken my GT 4 times for tapping issue. Last week, they finally fixed. What they have been done is re-adjusting steering intermediate shaft, and injected grease which is the newest version. The ABS service light still on, after replacing the wheel baring, However, it still needs to be fixed. Hpe it helps to anyone.   for me steering var, tapping was really anoying because I could feel while accelating and braking.
