Default ABS, traction control and stability control warning

My wife just called and said that as they were driving down the interstate the car dinged at them ABS, traction control and stability control warning. luckily it's under warranty but i sure hope they get it right the first time. I'd trade the damm thing in but it's got no value right now. it's an 08 GXP

They should be able to diagnose it pretty quickly with a scan tool. Man that's quick for a bcm to go. Miles?

Mine does that but it's an electrical problem, I have a bad wire in my cutout. Does the power surge too, i.e. lights dims, radio stop, and doors unlock and relock? Mine's even died for a split second... I really need to fix that wire...

ha had the same problem with about 30 or so k miles on my 08, took it to the dealer 4 times they just kept throwing parts at it (it was under warranty) turns out the ecm wire was loose or something and everytime the wire hit the piece of metal it would cause the code... so ya... dealer should help ask them to check that too... most of the time they just look at the code then throw the part at it and call it day they dont really troubleshoot that much unless like i said it keeps coming in all the time.

Same story with me 06 GXP just bought it about month or so ago has some miles on it and she called me said abs tcs and stability says service to all these things all at once. Was wonder should i check wheel speed sensors and wires first i dont have a abs code reader was thinking about getting one awhile back just never did and be nice if efi live would check those modules. any one know what would be a first good step and if one of those actron brake scan readers would help

mine did this and it was the left front wheel hub bearing.
they also replaced all my speed sensors
they may have done something else but those are the two big things
it was a grand total of a 1,000 to pay them

My wifes car does that and we are on our 2nd round of wheel hubs. Our cars and the fwd 3800's eat wheel hubs after the factory ones **** the bed. Timkin and oem wheel hubs are the best for these cars. The first time we tried cheapies and failed after a month. Live and learn I guess.

I had this come up pretty recently on my Monte. I replaced a line leading from the master cylinder to the ABS splitter and caused a large amount of air to be introduced to the system. After I bled the brakes, the warning went away.
