when i was driving my ABS, service engine soon, and trac off lights came on and nothing else changed(sound of the car, temp, etc.) the check engine light has been on for around 9-10 months but we were pretty sure it was just the O2 sensor b/c thats what is was a couple weeks b4 it turned on again. any ideas on what‘s going on with my car? is it just the fuses or something?
You can get an inexpensive diagnosis at your GM dealer. They've probably seen that same electrical problem occur before and there may be a GM technical service bulletin on it. Who knows more about what goes wrong with Pontiacs than your Pontiac dealer? Their technicians are trained to work only on GM vehicles. Once they give your a quote to repair the problem, you can always go to any other shop to get the work done.
It is not the O2 sensor and a fuse will not cause this light to come on. ABS is the brake system as is the trac light. Not to worry, this will not cause a problem with braking, your system just reverted back to a standard normal brake set up with the ABS. You may just have a bad ABS sensor at one of the wheels, or dirt may have lodged into the sensor. Most shops can use a scanner to read the codes that were set when the ABS stopped working, Auto Zone will do this for free. Then just have the ABs repaired and the car will be back to normal. good luck
