I'm getting abs and Trac lights on and off when I hit any type of bump sometimes they will stay on for a sec and also at times I get brake light. Wheel sensors are all new. I get a code u100 lost communication with abs module. Any ideas would be awesome

if your confident of the condition of the harness, id suspect the ABS module itself on the front of the ABS pump. Broken contacts inside the module at the power connection are a pretty common failure.

Have the ABS module rebuilt, lots of companies out there that do it. Some really inexpensive on eBay. I have no experience with any of it so use at your own risk. Post back how this was resolved. Thanks

This sounds like what happened to my 2004 GP. I ended up replacing both the driver's and passenger's side ABS wiring harnesses. Here's the part I used, if the link doesn't work it's a Dorman part # 970-042, I bought them from Amazon.

Pull the abs module plug, take a dental pick an pick at the terminals some of them can get loose inside of the plug itself.

Do the door locks or anything cycle when this happens ? Or the dash flash off and on ?

check the brake apply sensor i had an intermittent issue where my abs traction and stm lights would come on.... that was the culprit
also check any mechanical connections to the abs module if you haven't already
