Well, the computer was replaced with a used one and so far the car is running better than it ever has. The brakes are working like new. We just got back from a weekend at the Delaware beaches (about 120 miles each way plus lots of driving around) and no problems, warning lights, etc.
 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the new computer did it for my problem.

Thanks, littlemsrodeo!
 
My local mechanic was able to find me one for $300 + $100 to install and bleed the brakes. He said a new one from the dealer would run $900 so it made the choice easy. I don't know where he gets his parts from but he has always done well by me regarding aftermarket and now used parts.
 
Good luck with your Tek!

Hello folks... I'm one of the Buick Rendezvous owners having the same problem with my ABS/Antilock lights coming on. I too replaced the driver front wheel hub, and the problem came back. I'm not stupid enough to replace the passenger side as the GM tech suggests. However, I did have another piece of the puzzle to add to this discussion. My problems began when I had two new tires installed on the front of my vehicle. Could that mean that the tech hit/damaged/knocked loose something on both wheels during that tire change. Perhaps rust in the sensor connectors? Or damaged some other physical part. I mention this because I really dont believe this is a computer problem, and I think people are needlessly replacing these expensive parts. I'm living with the warning lights for now, and I'll just put black electric tape over the dash lights until someone has a sure answer for this problem. My Pontiac brothers and sisters, I wish you well.

While its possible the changing process could loosen something, I wouldn't think it would have any more effct then just driving down a bumpy road. Since it began after 2 tire change, it has me wondering. Are the 2 new ones same brand model as the old ones. Hopefully they gave you the same size as the rears. If there is something different about the new ones (outside diameter being most important) that could be the cause.

Same model tire...same size... They did something to muck it up. I'm sure of it.

Ok then, the wiring connectors should be somewhere behind the wheels and rotors I believe. I don't know why they would have messed around there unless something else was being looked at. Outside chance air pressure in one or more of the tires is way out of whack.

Now, you may be on to something... I could be hoping too hard, but it does seem to happen more on warmer days.... perhaps the tires are over-inflated... i will investigate and get back to you.

Tire pressure changed to factory spec... traction/abs problem remains - I GIVE UP. I'm putting electric tape over the dash lights.
