Guys i have a 2001 buick century. i ran into that problem figured for sure it was a wheel sensor but it wasn't if you can get a friend with a scanner to pin point which wheel it is then you're half way there. you said when you turn the wheel the light comes on well you know it one of the front wheels for sure, i was with my brother one of us was looking at the dash and the other was moving around the connector to let the other know when the light came on lots of posts spoke about the wires breaking at the point where they bend that wasn't the case. sure enough it was the wires going into the connector as you turn the wheel left and right the wire looses contact for a fraction of a second causing the abs light to come on. so check the connectors at each wheel under the cv joints.
hope this helped
good luck guys

The ABS lite, No Trac Lite and Service engine lite keep coming on

When the Service engine soon, ABS and TRAC lights are turned on at the same time the computer control units for the engine and the ABS/TRAC systems has sensed a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system and the ABS and Traction Control system (part of the ABS system). When this happens you will seldom feel the car engine run any different or the car drive any different. There are about 200 possible faults that turn the Check Engine light on, the fault in your car is likely a part called the VSS sensor to know for sure what the problem is you must have the system tested; Kragen and Autozone parts stores do this testing for free

Service vehical soon anti lock and trac off comes

The computer system reset every time you turn key off. The system then does a 3 second bulb check to verify all is functioning correctly. If all is well stays off. The reason why it only turns on when moving is because the abs sensors are either not picking up any vehicle speed from one of the wheels or there is a faulty connection in wiring at one of the wheels. Need to have vehicle scanned by a good shop and verify which wheel is causing the problem. If light is on ABS and traction control systems are disabled.

When I turn the steering wheel the low trac light

The steering wheel position, wheel speed sensors, and ABS systems are all used to provide traction control. You likely have a failure of one or more systems. Scan the ABS system and it will provide codes to help the diagnosis. Wheel speed sensors fail often, and it is likely one or more of these is contributing to the problem.

Abs light, trac light, service engine soon light 2001 Pontiac Grand Am

Sounds like you have a bad wheel speed sensor. You need to have it scanned. Since it's been sitting, it might just be a bad connection to one of the speed sensors.

Anti lock light and so on , is on

Your vehicle’s computer system has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with some of the components it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the Check Engine, Service Engine Soon, ABS Or TC lights to tell you that there is a problem and you should have the car diagnosed and repaired. I would take it to a service center you trust and let then come up with a solution. Sometimes a problem in one system will turn light on for other systems that communicate with it, but it doesn't mean there is a problem in all of the systems.
