Default What is it with...

these sensors --- ABS and tracking control? I have had the car to service. The Corvette tech. checked the connections, cleaned them, etc. Everything I have seen in discussions here. But the lights will still come on -- at least once during any one day.

I turn the car off --- and restart as the car manual suggests --- the sensors tend to come back on ---

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to them coming on.

Has anyone found a solution? I would even be willing to have new sensors installed, it that would solve the problem.

I had a short circuit causing power fluctuations and them it turned out that the trolls (GM Service) shorted out my PCM (near the alternator) and that gave me these lights. I would say if it's nothing else, check all your connections (aftermarket stereo, etc.) and them proceed to the PCM etc. Good luck!

The possibility of a short could be the cause, but also check the computer (maybe it is acting up). Good luck finding the cause. Electrical problems are a bear to figure out at times.

I noticed mine doing this a week or two ago...
...I dont think it is the computer...

I seemed to come on randomly...
...then I noticed that when I hit a bump the lights come on...

I suspect a bad connection...this should be fun to locate...

I will attack the CDchanger first...then ????
