Default low trac light at a stop?

For some odd reason i will be sitting at a stop light or stop sign at a COMPLETE stop for a couple seconds and then all the sudden my low trac light will just pop on out of no where. Not moving at all, just sitting and thats the only times it does it. I've replace both rear wheel speed sensors now and it didn't fix the problem. Any ideas?

My low trac light turns on every time I brake and after research on here apparently its the sensors behind each front wheel. I've already cleaned them n nothin so I'm gonna have to buy them. Check it out!

Can u actually get to these sensors to check them without taking the hub off?

im pretty sure they're integrated into the hub assembly therefore the only thing you can clean is the electrical plug where you plug it into the car harness

Low trac is usually what applies the ABS. So yes.

Yeah, this happens to me too. A lot of times as i'm downshifting without brakes before the clutch even grabs again.. Weird, but it seems to happen on lots of cars..
