This happened before, but was fine after i shut off the car and started it again.
this time it isnt going away, i have no abs, no traction control and it is harder to turn my steering wheel. the center console tells me to service those three things, they were all working fine before.... what is the cause of this, anyone ever hear of it?

Also, I know my driver's side wheel bearing is bad, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
but why would that disable my steering?

the sensor on ur bearing is prolly bad therefore throwing the codes for trac n abs....have u checked ur power steering fluid lately?...is there a whine when u turn the wheel?
05-07-2011
I'll check the PS levels and no there was no noise when i cut the wheels.
If it is the sensor is that something you buy? or does it come with the hub assembly? I need to replace the bearings anyway.
Also this problem started after driving on a very bumpy road if that helps.
Just noticed you are a fellow New Brunswicker! I'm sure you know exactly what i mean by very bumpy roads lol

yep...the fact it started on a bumpy road helps...the sensor is built into the new hub assembly(bearing) that u get...
The steering has me confused tho....does it feel like theres no assistance from the power steering?
and the roads suck here...

The power steering still works but its much stiffer, (its better then when the car is off but its noticeably harder than before the warning came.)
My traction control and abs no longer work either.
My PS fluid looks fine.

its a a long shot but, ur not missing a serpentine belt r u?

No, my belt is fine, My brakes work, just not the abs. and my power steering works, just not as much as it did, its stiffer.
Once I replace the hub assembly, I'll repost with an update.

Did you ever fix this??? I'm having the same problem
05-26-2011
I'm pretty sure its my hub assembly, the abs sensor. I have a bad wheel bearing, I just haven't gotten around to replacing it yet. Are your bearings good?
05-27-2011
Pretty sure mine are shot as well... Not THAT noisy but I can tell they need replaced

im having the same problem with my car, do you know how to check and see which wheel hub needs replacement??
05-31-2011
shake the top of the wheel back and forth from the side of the car...if its bad, u'll feel play when shakin the wheel.
05-31-2011
my car was doing the same thing. and i just replaced the wheel bearing today. problem solved.
and shaking the tire isn't always accurate. mine didn't have any play at all.
not to mention if your wheel bearing isnt bad it could be the wires leading to your wheel hub assembly or even both.
you could try cleaning the wire plugs. i was told you can use brake cleaner on them.

you can get the part number from autozone.com. same one is $317 at autozone
