i have a 2000 Grand am and it happened twice so far in a bout a month, all three lights go on at the same time,, once while im parking and once while i was pulling out of a spot, they go away if i turn the engine off and on. what can it be? car runs like normal, can it be a fuse or something?

The ABS and traction control system are pretty much the same thing. It's normally a bad wheel speed sensor. They go off when you restart the car because they pass the static test. The service engine light is different. You just need to pull the codes on that to see what it is. It might just go off every time the ABS does.

I've seen the "Service VEHICLE Soon" light come in conjunction with the other two a number of times on my '01, but not the "Service ENGINE Soon" light. Probably that's is what you saw. Diiferent light - has to do with service issues not directly related to the engine/emissions - would agree with the others about the loose wire/faulty sensor. Mine usually clears up and systems function fine.

if your abs light comes on first then your traction control light comes on - it is because you have a loose connection at one of the abs sensors - the traction control light comes on because it's reading the abs sensor as poor braking ability - when the service engine light comes on it's saying have some one run a scan on your car to tell you the code -- go to autozone , they will scan your car for free - tell you the code the name of the part or parts you need and how much those parts will cost - but you do not have to buy them from them .

Likely a bad wheel sensor, or loose connection. Check the wiring and plugs at the sensors for the ABS.

it would desire to be particularly some issues from a bad fuse to a bad sensor. or it would desire to have not any anti locking breaks. the vehicle remains driveable, (because of the fact vehicles didnt continually hae ABS) yet, id be careful while breaking no longer straight forward.

sounds like a speed sensor problem. next time it happens quickly look at your speed ometer it probabbly isn't working either
