Default help on servince traction control/abs

it used to be every once and a while then it got more frequent then it stopped , but not everytime im in the car the service traction controll/abs comes on. i cleaned the 2 grounds in the engine very well today and then i started my car and turned the steering wheel all the way over both sides then it came on. i notice that it comes on when i use my steering wheel far either way, usually backing out of my narrow drivway. the only code that is current is it says 38 rtd no communication. what does that mean????? hope this doesnt cose too much, just spend $$$$ to rebuilt the tranny

Default Bad Battery

Quite often this is caused by low battery voltage. Check out the battery before you do anything rash, like go to the dealer.

Have you recently installed powder coated calipers? If so, you may need to remove some powder coating at the contact points.
