Sensors? How can I test to know which one is causing it?
Thanks for you help.
Also fairly often it is a woring issue to the sensor as opposed to sensor itself.
What do you mean by woring issue.
What is your opinion ?
My Son, Daughter in Law and 2 Grandchildren are in this vehicle??? Also they have replaced the intake manifold gasket, head gasket, and water pump. GM engineering at its best.......
'Is this dangerous?'
No more so then the thousands of other vehicles that are on the road without ABS or AWD. The lights just let you know you are among them without the added features.
good luck
I am so happy, no more grinding, no more lights. After 2 years, we are finally fixed. No other problems with this car. I bought it new in 2002.
So, not sure what is going on. All I know is the "Service traction System" light comes on when it grinds, usually when I turn, or abruptly stop. TEWALKER, your advice seems pretty solid and the most clear. So, I will go into the dealer, if need be, with this information. Thank you!!
I apologize for your inconvenience. What is the name of the dealer you had the brakes and such replaced at? Can you please email me your VIN and current mileage.

I have a 2004 Rendezvous and my car has been indicating "service traction system" light after a loud and continuous grinding sound of ABS braking. I have had the brakes changed but to no avail. After reading the forum, I'm not sure where to go with this. I hope that Buick will realize it is a problem that must be recalled. Other than that, it has been a dependable car.

I apologize for the problems you are experiencing with your vehicle. Were you planning on having the vehicle diagnosed by a GM dealership? Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

Buick wanted to charge me 1000.00 to replace the hub bearing and sensor.
Replace the harness for 32.00 for both.
Thanks to all who wrote about this and did the work before I did.

Considering a new vehicle - I like my Rendezvous but if I am just heading into continual repair bills its not worth it. Has anyone had this problem actually fixed and not reoccur?
The whole job will cost you about $15 and 30-60 minutes of your time. Re-use standoffs from old cable. Leave standoff in place and pull old cable through and thread new cable through standoff loop.
Invest in a code scanner that also has ABS/SRS functions. I just bought an MDLINK MX+ Bluetooth unit and I can use my laptop as a monitor (Other ones are stand - alone or smart phone linked)
I hope I helped someone save a boatload of money cutting out mechanics' fees and auto parts retail markup.
