1999 Regal GS ABS Light

[eccs19]

My Regal has times when the ABS light comes on. Seems more common with it's wet out. When the light comes on, I also get the traction light come on. Do I have a bad sensor, or perhaps a wiring issue somewhere? Where is best place to start looking? Anything common on these cars in this area? Cars got around 230,000KM.

Could be a wheel sensor, moist likely one of the front or a wiring issue to include the electrical connector for the wheel sensor at each hub. Best thing to do is get it scanned with an ABS capable scanner/scan tool to see which wheel sensor is acting up or what chassis/abs DTCs are stored.

Thanks for the info / suggestion. Is this one of those cars that you can't just replace the sensor? You actually need to change the entire bearing assembly?

That is correct. You have to replace the complete hub assembly. We have a tech procedure posted at Buick Tips & Maintenance to give you an idea of the work involved.
