    This has been happening for a while. I had it hooked up to a computer and of course as soon as I got there the light shut off. It happens mostly when I turn or hit a bump sometimes when I am slightly braking the brake pedal will start bouncing and the pump turns on. It's getting annoying and I'm tired if dealing with it. Any ideas what could be wrong? Maybe a abs sensor?

    wheel speed sensor or part of the wiring. Check your connections at the hub assemblies, and look for problems in the wires. I reseated all my connections, and it solved the problem.

    What do you mean by reseating them?

    Un-do the connection, then re-do the connection. Just take the clips apart, make sure there isn't anything in there that would interfere with it, then clip it back together.

    I have a 2008 Grand Prix GXP and I have the same problem but its my ABS, Traction Control, and Stability Control. Does anyone know, since I'm taking my car into the shop on Monday for repair from someone breaking into my car and breaking the door handle, if the shop could reset these sensors for me or will I end up getting over charged etc.
