1 Brake Sensor problem of the 2006 Saturn Relay

Failure Date: 09/27/2017

Service abs and service traction control lights came on and have remained on for several days. Further messages continue flashing on the driver information center. This has been a recurring problem over the past year after abs wheel sensors and the associated wiring were replaced. With the numerous complaints on the internet - I was thinking that surely a TSB or recall on these issues has been overlooked or simply ignored by the mechanics and service writers at the gm dealerships nationwide. I know that a tech ll scanner is required to check for any trouble codes for these very complex systems, but what is the known definitive fix for these potentially serious problems ? the lights and messages began appearing after moderate braking and while vehicle is/was in motion or stationary while turning or on a straight ahead stretch of roadway. Varied road conditions and wet or dry weather conditions were seemingly not contributing factors.

2 Brake Sensor problem of the 2005 Saturn Relay

Failure Date: 08/22/2011

When the abs and traction control sensor lights came on , it felt like the car wasn't slowing down much, at 35 mph. It was scary. I know of other people that had this same problem, there should be a recall on this. I was told is the ebcm module.

3 Brake Sensor problem of the 2005 Saturn Relay

Failure Date: 11/09/2008

On Sunday, November 9, 2008 I was backing up in my driveway when the traction control engaged briefly, stopped and the service light for both the tc and the abs remained on. I have not been able to get rid of the service lights. On Monday I brought the van into the local garage. In June 2008, I had the same problem but the service lights turned off. The same garage put in new ball bearings including the one that has the sensor in it for the tc and abs. I have read the ebcm module or the sensor on the ball bearing could be the problem.
