    I've been having the lights come on intermittently for weeks now. It seems to only come on when I do a lot of stop and go. When I first start up it's off sometimes. I ohmed out the sensors and all looks normal - resistance changes when I spin the wheels.

    I tool it to AAMCO (nobody else would read it, or they wanted $$) The guy had a giant Snapon scanner and he said there's no codes! Tried it with the ignition on and running. ABS/TCS lights were on the whole time.

    I am debating just randomly changing the hubs or taking it to the stealership for a diagnosis.

    Any other suggestions?

    i know it would matter what year you pull it off of, but will it matter if you pull the abs unit from a different 3800? like from a 00 regal ls

    Thanks.

    Does anyone know if the module is just a computer that can be simply unplugged, or are we talking about a unit with lots of brake lines going in a nd out of it, connected to the master cylinder?

    I've done both just hoping it's a computer swap!

    i have the same thing going on with my car as far as the ABS/TCS light going on sometimes. I looked through my Alldata and couldn't find the an ABS mod. What part are you referring to. is it the EBCM, (electronic brake control module)?....

    It may be referred to as the EBCM. Here's a link to it:
    CHEAP ABS Module Repair for Pontiac Grand Prix

    I have the factory manuals, but I stopped reading when it said I needed a special scanner. I read the boards here and read how to ohm-out the wheel sensors. Then I stopped at AAMCO to get the ABS codes read.

    Since I had no codes, the ABS/Trac light, and the wheel sensors appeared to work, I was told it was probably the module.

    I sent the module out to cheapabs.com and got it back and it's been running 2 days so far (fingers crossed)

    By the way - I picked a used ABS module and pump from a 97 - 03 GP GT - not knowing that the GTP uses a different module.

    I'd be willing to sell it for what I paid for both parts - $30.
