Re: Service Vechicle Soon/ABS/Trac Off

Its more than likely a failed wheel speed sensor, a common problem on these vehicles.

You will need to take the car to a dealership to have it scanned, or some mechanics have the equipment to retrieve the stored codes. Standard code readers will not retrieve ABS codes and you need a Tech II(dealership) or equivalent machine.

Expect to pay somewhere between 50-100 bucks just to have the car scanned.

If its a wheel speed sensor, it requires replacing the entire hub assembly to fix, a pretty easy job, new parts start at 100 and go as high as you want.
