Wonky Traction Control

I have discovered a TC problem with my 96 Aurora. Pulling out of my driveway today in 3rd (I do a lot of city driving) my Traction control light would come on and I could here that definitive "wrrrrrr"ing sound of the traction system kicking in. I have a set of stock Michelin Energys on the car, the road conditions are fine, so there is no external reason for the computer to sense a change in road condtions.

I stopped the car, turn the TC off via the button on the console. No problemo. Stopped again, parked the car, re-engaged the TC, put the car in D and continued to experience intermittant TRACTION ACTIVE.

I'm pretty convinced its a sensor malfunction, possibly the Wheel Speed Sensor, any other ideas or experiences to share in the matter. I have make a 3hr road trip this weekend and its something I would like to have a little feedback on. My short term solution. Drive with TC off. However I am finicky and I want things to work properly ;)

Thanks for any assistance.

Update: local shop across the street from my work wont touch it with a 10 ft pole...so its at the dealer

>.<

the same thing happened to me after I replaced the drivers side front wheel bearing later to find the passenger front sensor was also gone (full of rust) the computer from dealer showed that the sensor was thinking that that wheel was actually in motion at a different speed than the other and the traction controll was interpeting that as slippage thus engaging the tc. it was also doing this while the car was in park!!!
once other bearing replaced no more problems

Interesting...well the problem has seemed to fix itself for now...no more issues, but I will keep you updated on this matter.

Thanks for the new perspective tho
