Read the suggestions above. Without the code(s) its all just guess work.

I'd save my breath, as he has been posting the same question several times since Feb - and we all keep telling him he needs to get the codes read. Until he does that, I don't think we can help him beyond that.

Ok I got the codes read, the CEL light and TC lights were on at the auto parts store, I got a random misfire but they couldn't tell me which cylinder and an ABS sensor error but the parts guys couldn't find the ABS sensors in their system. Are the ABS sensors easy to replace? I also got my Haynes Manual this week and there is not one mention of the Traction Control system in the whole book. I am not the guy who started this thread with a different name, just saying.

safetyjedi - I don't think we can help you if you don't read the replies to your previous question? It might be best to take it to a dealer and let them work on it.

No body can offer any reasonably accurate suggestions without the code.

safetyjedi - so far you have the same discussion going in the following threads starting back in January:

https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=40767
https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...t=32348&page=3
https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...=28779&page=23

I really don't think we can help you, if you do not read the responses to your questions.

After all these questions and several people suggesting you download the codes - you still have not relayed them here. I really really suggest you would be best to just take it to a dealer - it will save you a whole lot of time.

Let's try this:

Safetyjedi. We need the code NUMBERS. We can't help you without the code NUMBERS. You need to post up the code NUMBERS. Without the corresponding code NUMBERS, we would only be guessing.

Traction control comes on when a CEL is set due to the ECM disabling it. This occurs most of the time with a CEL but not always. Usually fixing the CEL gets rid of the Traction Control Message.

I narrowed mine down to I removed too much brake fluid after I bought the car used and then replaced my front pads causing the fluid reservoir to overflow. Another case for "do not top off brake fluid".

It is one of the acturator solenoids. They are about $60 dollars each.
