Second point, My ABS light, Traction Control OFF light, and Check Variable steering light and Check Engine light Keep coming on(all at the same time) ...It doesn't happen every single time i start the car, but maybe once every 3 starts!??? Does anyone have any help or advice?? Please i'm in dire need of advice...

Do you think its my Wheel Speed Sensor that is tripping all of those things at the same time?? Please help.

Well don't have anything on the date issue.


As for the other problem. Typically ALL of these lights come on at the same time for a bad wheel bearing.Tech. the wheel bearing is not bad though the sensor inside of it for the ABS is. I currectly have all of these lights on in my car. After i did a trans and cam swap on mine the next time the car started the lights were on.I havent worried about it.I owned two earlier model mustangs before that didnt have abs either so i havent worried about fixing it.

The variable steering is basicly a sensor on the steering rack I'm not sure what it actually does. It has something to do with sensing road conditions i belive. If the harness to that has come off it will make all of these lights come on. If a wheel bearing is bad it will make all of these lights come on.If the harness came unplugged that goes to the wheel sensor has come off it will make all of these lights come on.


The most common cause is a wheel bearing.


As for the check engine light, That should be something seperate. To make it simple...


You have a pcm...that controls the ignition spark fuel ect.

Then you have an ebcm...that controld all of the braking and abs stuff.

You have to have a gm tech 2 scanner to read the abs codes. Autozone cant do this with there code scanner because they can only read coddes off of the pcm with it.


Generally it cost i would say 60-100 dollars to put it on the scanner for the abs codes. When that is done they can tell you exactly what is wrong...example ...Bad front pass. wheel bearing. Or maybe even an issue with you power steering rack.


Any other questions just lemme know!
