Had these lights come on today while accelerating up a slight grade, turned the car off and all seemed back to normal. So, I turned the traction control off and made a full throttle pass and as soon as it hit 2nd they came back on. Turned car off and all seemed well again, made another full throttle run with traction control still on this time and once again, as soon as it hits 2nd they warnings popped back up. I didnt notice any power loss, is this something critical? I did a quick search and found that AlabamaGuy simply tuned his out. Basically trying to figure out if I should invest the time in taking it to the dealership to have it looked at, or if it's simply a tuning issue just have my tuner delete these warnings.

My local dealership wouldn't change mine under warranty because my Bilsteins 'weren't stock,' and I even showed them that they came on the car, and they still wouldn't because 'They didn't look stock.' ![Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/rolleyes.gif)
EDIT: But you have to remember, this is the same dealership that when they replaced my trans and it was still slipping, 'I was making it up,' until they lifted the car and saw it bleeding trans fluid because they left a line loose, the guy got all huffy, fixed it, and basically handed my keys back to me with an F you face. Needless to say, if something else happens I'm driving an hour to other one. Better be glad that survey never got to my house.

I couldnt get it to duplicate it today, but I swung by the dealership anyhow. Basically told me to wait until the light stays on before bringing it in, which is cool with me since it wont waste anyones time that way. The only thing is, is that my extended warranty runs out in May of this year (or another 11k miles). I work close to home so I only put ~50 miles a week on the car.
If it's the wheel sensor acting up due to winter road conditions, will it clear itself?? Im just curious if it's going to wait to completely fail after my warranty is up.
Thanks for all the feedback fellas, I appreciate it.

i changed both my front wheel bearings whe i bought my car, took about an hour to do both. However i had air tools and a hoist. iirc, remove the brakes, its 3 13mm bolts, a 34 or 36 socket for the axle nut and either use a chisel or just hammer it out. clean up the area where the new bearing goes in and tighten it all back up.
