#1 of 101 Service Engine Soon / ABS / Trac Off by catdug Jan 12, 2007 (9:46 pm)
Well, those three things pretty much sum up what im going through right now. All three lights are on and when you make a hard right or left turn and accelerate at low speed the car seems like the drivetrain is missing, almost like it's skipping. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Replying to: catdug (Jan 12, 2007 9:46 pm) Go to a parts store like O'Riely or AutoZone and use the code scanner. That should give you a good place to start. You can use the code scanner for free or very low cost. You do NOT need to buy one.   This could be anything from a cracked vacuum line to a bad computer. The scanner will tell you what the computer thinks is wrong.
#3 of 101 ABS/Brake/SES lights all on by joe318948 Jan 19, 2007 (3:01 pm)
These lights are all on, I am more worried about the ABS and Brake lights. It won't let me shift out of park. I have to use the overide switch. The guys at tire pros said they replaced the ABS Brake relay.. that seemed to fix the problem... for a few weeks. Now I am having the same problem. First off does anyone know where the that relay is, and secondly does anyone know what the ATC is? Replies to this message: carguy38 (Jan 31, 2007 6:54 pm) ginny13 (Aug 21, 2007 6:11 am)

Replying to: catdug (Jan 12, 2007 9:46 pm) I am going through the same thing but I am not experiencing the missing or skipping. One of the guys I work with has the same car and had the same problem. He had it serviced at the dealer and they replaced the hub assembly. This seems to have fixed it for the time being. I guess I will have to do the same thing. It sounds like it is a $700-$900cdn touch.

I have about 71k on my GA and I have already replaced both the left and right wheel bearing retaining hubs. Recently over the last 2 months these lights have been coming on intermittently, generally when driving in wet weather. Any ideas? Would it be one of the two hubs or is it likely one of the sensors elsewhere on the vehicle? Replies to this message: ray80 (Jan 24, 2007 7:51 am) joe318948 (Jan 24, 2007 9:37 am)

Replying to: ray80 (Jan 24, 2007 7:51 am) could be, but the cost for me to take a look at the entire electrical system is going to be more than I can afford!

Replying to: joe318948 (Jan 19, 2007 3:01 pm) ATC stands for automatic traction control. If your car is a 2000 or newer you might find the anti lock brake relay underneath the battery tray along the left frame rail of the car. Replies to this message: ginny13 (Aug 21, 2007 6:11 am)

Replying to: catdug (Jan 12, 2007 9:46 pm) If you go to auto zone they will plug the code scanner into your car for free. The code will probably come up as a vacuum problem, and or a 0300 code which is multiple misfires, but don't sweat the car is probably not misfiring it's all comeing from the faulty electrical system.
