  • Lo Trac light stays on for about a minute when i start up car

    The low trac light stays on for about a minute and sometimes when i hit the breaks it dosnt break right away..rolls a little bit then comes to a immidiate stop. Is this bad or just something minor. The ABS light is also on..but im not going to bother getting that fixed. Thanks

    Check your wheel sensors, sometimes they are just dirty and will read funny.

    they are likely related.

    The most common ABS/low trac problems are the wheels sensors.

    Quick break down how it works.


    there are 3 sensors one for each front wheel, then one on the top of the differential. The one on the differential reads off of the ABS reluctor ring. When the rear wheels read a different speed thefront, it throws off the code, because it thinks the rear wheels are moving faster or slower then the front wheels. Which only happens when wheels are spinning(lowtrac) or front brakes are locking up(abs woudl kick in)


    If the sensors are giving funky readings(bad or jsut dirty) it causes the setup to go stupid.
