Hello.
I recently had a traction control light coming on in my Pontiac G5 GT (didn't see a forum for G5). When the traction control light was on, the car would jerk when shifting gears (it's an automatic). After time, the abs light came on as well. At this point the jerking seemed to stop. I took it into the shop. They ran a test and said it was probably a bad wheel sensor. They replaced the bad wheel sensor and gave the car back. Within minutes, the traction control light came back on. No abs light this time, and the car doesn't seem to be jerking anymore. I took the car back in and they said the code was leading them back to the abs, meaning it's probably the abs module causing the problem. If so, it would need to be replaced. This will cost somewhere between $450 - $600.
I'm wondering if this all sounds right? Did they even fix anything the first time around? Thanks!
