Traction handling/ABS light
2000 C5...
Just replaced wheel hubs/sensors, rotors, calipers, brake pads. Preventive maint. 3 days later Traction/handling ABS lights come on. replaced bad hub/sensor. 3 days later lights back on. Never had this problem. Any ideas?

Since you were just in the area, I would check the wheel sensor connectivity

Do the codes pop up by just turning on the key (w/o starting the car)? If so, you probably have a hub disconnected........reseat the wires in the plastic part of the plug......one might have come loose.

You might want to check the rear wiring harness going to the hub where it it attached to the brake cabling. I had one 'reposition' itself and rubbed on the tire.....wore through the insulation and shorted.....causes svc ah/tc/abs. Easy fix. The 'three days later' comment reminded me of that one.

Its just guessing without pulling the codes. Each of those messages are generated by several different codes. Use the DIC to see the codes. It only takes a few seconds. There are different diagnostic procedures for each code that can lead you to the correct component. Codes do not tell you what to replace but where to look.
