Service Traction System, ABS, Active Handling Warning
2001 MN6 recently threw 3 warngins: Service Traction System, Service ABS System, and Service Active Handling. Decided to put my OBD scanner on it... and scanner indicates no faults. Seems odd. I have never had problems. Car has 86k miles on it. I recently replaced the rear hubs w/ the sensors at about 80k miles) as they were howling... car performed flawlessly since. Are these warnings just "service codes" designed to get me into my GM dealer for "serivce" like the regular service wanrings on other vehicles... or is this serious? How do I reset/check the codes? NOTE: Traction system does not appear to work and the ABS and Active Handling lights on the dash indicate these systems are off. Any thoughts?
Thx!

codes???
I am having the same issue intermittently...the codes I get suggest a bad wheel sensor. It kicks in the traction control because it thinks one of the wheels is spinning at a different speed. We hooked it up to the Tech II and went driving. naturally it worked flawlessly
Another possibility is a failing steering wheel position sensor as they all work in concert.
Good luck.
