Default Question for LT1 owners....

When I brake and I get to a stop sign or something, my car kind of jerks a little, and the "low trac" light flickers on....anyone have this issue?? If so, what was the problem? Thank you for the help.

I had that issues when I purchased my car. I bled the braking system and it never happened again.

Yeah, I thought it might have something to do with the brakes...Did your low trac light come on too?

Mine will do that only if i'm on the pedal very lightly! But the low trac light has never come on when it does! Take 97HawkLT1s advice and bleed the brakes and it will most likely go away!

I had something happen where the low trac light would come on and it would release some brake pressure a little bit with the abs kicking in. I cleaned my abs connectors and the problem went away.

Yeah it did exactly what you described. Try bleeding the brakes and I bet it will go away.
