Wheel speed sensor in one/both wheel hubs. Make sure there aren't any lose connections going to the wheel bearing or just change the wheel bearing and the problem should go away since the sensor is in the bearing. The wheel speed sensor controls your cars ABS, Magnasteer (variable steering assist), and TCS, hence all the error lights popping up on the DIC. Hope that helps.

Perfect thanks for the quick reply!

Do you have a guide on how to do this? Im new to cars (Highschool automotive class didn't really help aside from oil changes and tire rotations... waste of time i know). Would you recommend a Haynes manual? I have a few friends telling me their quite useful to newbies. Also how much would new wheel bearings cost me?

Thanks,
Kyle

I don't have a guide off hand, but it is really easy to do. Just take the wheel off then take the hub nut off (usually requires an impact wrench or a cheater pipe on a wrench), then it's just 3 bolts on the back of the knuckle. Once those bolts are out you might have to hit the hub with a hammer or something to get it out of the knuckle since theres a black plate that sites between the hub and the knuckle which likes to makes things seize together. Then just try to feed the sensor wire through the knuckle (have to push the axle in a little, but it should clear. and the just put everything back in reverse order. I don't have a Haynes and have honestly never used one before so I don't really know much about them. Also, there's the GM Service manual at the top right corner of this site that should have the writeup in there.


Also, here's a Youtube video on doing it. It's a van but the knuckle and hubs are the same as the GP. Davidsfarm is pretty hilarious and pretty smart if you've never seen his videos before (he's also from Canada).

This might help you out too.
