    I am at my wits end with my Grand Prix. I have an 02 GP SE. I have replaced BOTH front wheel bearing hub assemblys, and BOTH wiring harness' for the wheel bearings. The ABS/Trac off lights like to come on, ALL THE TIME. The senerio? I can take my car and turn left around corners all day long. I can go around whatever block you wish. No problem what-so-ever. But as soon as I turn right around a corner.. BOOM! Its like the Christmas tree in Orange. Its so frustrating. I can even sit still and turn the wheel all the way to the left, but as soon as I turn it right to straighten up the wheels, it comes on. I can shut the car off and start it back up and do it all over again. The lights stay off when the car starts. They won't come on until you turn right. I've done everything I know to do. PLZ someone give me some advice or something!! Anything is much appriciated!

    go get the car scanned with a scanner that can read abs codes.

    I bet its a rear wheel bearing.

    wow.. I'm shocked. Yes 4 wheel disk and yes i have abs. I have always been told that the rear bearings do not have sensors. I just looked it up and they do. But even when I'm sitting still, I can turn the wheels to the right and that'll trigger the lights to come on? The rear sensors could still cause this without moving?

    That was my thought of the problem too. I mean my car has 190,000 miles on it, but man it runs better than any car I've ever own. Not one noise comes from the motor. The transmission. You can never tell what gear your in cause it shifts so smoothly. I can be going down the highway and give it gas, and its still gets moving perfectly fine. I even still get 27 mpg highway. I have the original window sticker from the dealer and it states It only got 29 brand new. I'm just so frustrated and I don't know what to do anymore. UGH!!!
