    I have a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP the traction control off light is on and wont turn traction control on. I went and check all the sensor on the wheel hubs and all worked. Is there something like a relay or bad wiring through the wiring? Also the abs light is off.

    ive been having the same issues. I have checked the hubs and wiring. I've scanned for codes and I get nothing. My ABS is off and workin fine. I am going to replace my dic (mainly cause the lights are burnt out) and see if it is just a fault DIC unit. Other than that I have no clue what could be causing it. I will let you all know what if it goes away when i replace the unit.
