Post subject: 98 Grand Am ETS and ABS lights

Not sure why the two ("ETS OFF" and "ABS") lights in my dash board keep coming on. They turn off after I turn the engine off and waite for 10 minutes or so. The brakes are fine (rotors, pads, drums, and shoes). Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

This is a common problem on all GM vehicles of this vintage. The traction control system uses information from the ABS. When the ABS gets bad signal, it shuts off the ETS. Most common failure is a break in the wire harness near the right front wheel. In some cases you have to replace the wheel bearing assembly
