    This may be in the wrong forum sorry but I have a 07 grand prix gt 3.8. It randomly reads traction control ABS active for a few seconds every few minutes and can feel it activating. Then everyone in a while it says service abs system for a few minutes then reading goes away . What could this be?

    A handful of things without knowing if the system has thrown any codes.

    I'd just start by inspecting all wire harness's leading to each hub and cleaning the connectors and applying electronic grease to the sockets to prevent any issues with those connections.

    if you cant find any of what he said wrong^^^^^^ get it scanned at a shop for abs codes, or your just tossing money at it by guessing with new parts.

    a 07 may show some abs codes on a normal code scanner. most of the time you need a abs scanner tho.

    The code reader at Advance spit out where my problem lied in the ABS on my 07 when I had a broken wire.
