    Bad wheel speed sensor. Get someone with a techII to scan it and tell you which side is bad, and replace the wheel bearing/hub assembly.

    before spending your money be sure to check the connections first, mine was on for about 6 months and then just went under the car pushed on all the connectors to make sure that that's not what the problem was and then BAM lights went off

    mine started one night after a drive... then just this past week, I was installing my SS grilles and looked under the car. The front right wire was completely disconnected and hanging down. I reconnected it and ABS light and TCS Off light stayed off.

    Good chance its the connection from the harness to the wheel bearing. I've had two GPs now with that issue a 98 and an 01. When I did my brakes last on the 01 I chopped out all the connectors and soldered it all together then heatshrink. No more low trak on dry pavement.

    Get it scanned....You might have to go to the dealer for the scan, you need the codes.
    It might cost you a hundred bucks but then you would know for sure and not just replacing things and hoping that it worked......it will be cheaper in the long run trust me on this one.

    It might not be that, it might be something else....he needs a scan for the codes.
