Abs - traction control issues
I test drove a 2001 vett last night. The service abs and servisc the
traction control warning came on. We read the owners manual. It said to stop , turnoff the car. We did for 1 min. re started and no warnings.
The wife and I are thinking about buying this vett. What concerns should we have about these warnings coming on.

Hey man, it is USUALLY a familiar problem with Vettes (C5) where there are multiple connectors to the wheel hub to the ABS computer and the connectors (male/female prongs) are a poor design and often have a weak connection that can be lost when hitting a bump and will immediately set off the ABS/TRACTION CONTROL warning light. Also if aftermarket wheels have been put on check the wiring as it often gets chaffed by the tire/wheel.

mutiple known issues with wireing as well as Electronic Brake Control Module.
If you see a light on a test drive that owuld be fair enough worning to stay away from that one for me.
I've been chasing down my problem for 4 years without success.

Doug O,
Do you know how to retrieve the codes from the car?
List year of car and the codes
There are many ABS/traction control experts as this is fairly common
As already stated - Could be FREE or could be $2K
