    So 3 days ago I start my car I get a bunch of warning in the indicator screen including:

    ABS
    Braking System
    Traction Control
    Steering Assist

    and possibly a couple others

    Then the next day I got no warnings.

    Then today I get the same warnings 1 after another.

    What might be happening? Steering/brakes/etc everything seems fine nothing feels out of place. First time I've had any of these warnings

    Your help is appreciated

    Thanks,

    Brian

    04+ car? It's either a wheel bearing or the wiring to one of the wheel sensors.

    An engine is an engine no matter the size.... I think Dr. Seuss said that... or maybe it was Big Weld....

    I have all of those too, it's like a 505 code I found with my SnapOn scanner. Gotta send off my ABS module to be repaired.

    That sounds expensive...

    It's a 2006 Grand Prix GXP

    You get the exact same messages and it was the ABS Module? How much money does that cost to repair?

    Exact same codes on the DIC. I only have one ABS code stored that I could find with my SnapOn scanner. I haven't sent it off yet, but, pricing I found what Five said.

    I just keep hitting the arrow as soon as I turn the key. Shut's it up at least. I haven't hooked mine up to an ABS scanner yet. Does it do this? (video in link) and then mine kinda picks a random message to display after it stops beeping. ~ http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...-bad-%28vid%29

    I do the same thing for now, lol, it's annoying though - and all the dash lights.
    Same messages I get as that video.

    It is without a doubt your ABS module. I went through a lot of troubleshooting in my 05 Comp G trying to figure out the problem...new front wheel assemblies, brand new ABS wiring harnesses, traced all four wheel harnesses for shorts to no avail.

    These guys are great. $89 and a 24 hour turn around.

    Thanks for the input. Have you used that place before or? Just curious. That link might end up being a lifesaver.

    I called Northstar Auto in town. They have a snap-on they'll plug in for $35. Taking it early next week. I'll update.
