Replying to: rkessler3 (Dec 31, 2007 8:29 am) I would go back and ask for the code . If they refuse to give it to you tell them you are going to report it to the attorney general in your state. Replies to this message: yodan (Jan 03, 2008 1:32 pm) gonogo (Jan 04, 2008 9:03 am)

Replying to: gonogo (Jan 01, 2008 8:55 am) I have the same problem with my 2000 Buick Regal. It started about 1 year ago but only when I was driving in the rain. So I thought it was related with some bad wires from the wheel hub assembly. Recently the 3 lights will show up after 5 minutes of driving or so. So I went to a shop, they scanned it, charged me 120$ and told me that my ABS Computer(Control Module) is bad, and they will change it for 900$. I said no thanks, and when I asked for the error code he laughed at me and told me that their state-of-the-art-bad-ass-scanner is not like the one from Auto Zone, and there is only some generic code which won't mean anything to me.   After spending some time online I found a lot of things that could cause this: wheel hub assembly/bearings, wheel hub assy harness, speed/ABS sensors, low break fluid, ignition control module, loose fuel cap, fuses, and now... ABS control module. Where should I start? Replies to this message: gonogo (Jan 04, 2008 9:03 am)

Replying to: yodan (Jan 03, 2008 1:32 pm) A good start would be getting the codes you paid for .

Replying to: rkessler3 (Dec 31, 2007 8:29 am) I went to a dealership to have it scanned They were so nice to charge 75.00 to put it up and tell me it would take another 200 to fix it however they didn't tell me what was wrong or what the codes were and when I asked those questions the service man chuckled at me sooo nice.   Don't places like AutoZone run a scan of your car for free? I know they used to but I haven't needed that service for a long time. Replies to this message: morris2008 (Apr 12, 2008 9:40 am) deveau52 (Aug 22, 2009 9:06 am)

Replying to: tedebear (Jan 04, 2008 9:41 pm) I have a 2000 cavalier that recently the trac off light comes on noT ABS, yet goes off when I shut the car off, upon putting the car back in drive it seems to engage hard and has the terrible sound from bottom of the car, and then it runs fine. We took the car to different small shops, when they checked no codes came on. Do you think it could be a sensor in the traction system? Replies to this message: deveau52 (Aug 22, 2009 9:06 am)

All the ABS Light, Service Light, and Track off lights come on together. Do you think it could be a sensor in the traction system? Anybody had simliar problem? Replies to this message: gonogo (Apr 13, 2008 7:48 am)

Replying to: morris2008 (Apr 12, 2008 9:20 pm) You have lights so you have codes, take it to some one that has the proper scanner to get codes. The Trac off will come just because of other codes, that has nothing to do with the Trac system it self.
#22 of 34 My 2000 cavalier's check engline light is on by ashmarie10 May 07, 2008 (9:02 pm)
I have a 2000 chevy cavalier and my check engine light just came on. I read in the manual that if your gas cap is not on tight it will cause the check engine light to come on. It has happened to me once before and I did get gas today. Anyone have any other solutions in case it doesnt go off? Ash
