So im driving down the highway lastnight and all of a sudden my CHECK ENGINE, ABS, and TRAC OFF lights come on. So I pull over thinking it just might be a loose conection on the battery....nope. I get back in the car, start it up and the lights are off. So i begin to drive again, and all three lights come back on again. Nothing seems to happen when the lights come on, performance wise. Anyone out there know the reason behind this?????

Hub sensor possibly

Check Engine or Service Vehicle? If it's SVS that's a pretty good clue (with the other two) that it's a hub.

As stated above..

I'd put my money on the hub/wheel bearing sensors..

It will come on more and more periodically..

my dad had the same problem with his grand am, its the wheel hub going bad, or the snesor, in our case it was the hub.

ok...im most likely asking stupid questions now lol, but pls forgive me i dont know much about this kinda stuff. you tell me to clean the sensors...is this the same as what i have been saying by disconnecting the ABS and cleaning that connection? Or are the sensors soemthing completely different??

CHeck your connection and the wires as well just incase they are kinked or pinched
