Re: ABS, Low Trac, Service Light coming on. Need to get state inspection done. Pleas

The reason why the lights (SVS, ABS and TRAC OFF) come on when you are moving is that is when the ABS system initializes and runs a self test. There must be motion to check the ABS wheel sensors. From all indications it looks like one of your wheels has a bad hub/wheel sensor. Determining which one is the hard part and normally diagnostics should be run with an ABS capable scanner. Autozone scanners cannot read out GM ABS/Chassis codes.

Another thing you can do with a DMM is ohm out each wheel sensor and check the electrical connector/wiring at the back of each hub. Look for around 1K ohms resistance across the wheel sensor contacts hub side.
