You have to plug the bearings sensor wires in, if you keep them unplugged like you stated ,your lights will stay on.

But even plugged in the lights stayed on. I dont know what to do. Might the computer be broken?
I might take off the wheels myself to look at the wires. That's the second bearing I have changed in 3 months. |
Look at the wires, the harness is known to be too short on some years of Alero, causing wire breakage. A BCM problem is possible, but less likely and you would probably have other symptoms besides just the lights. Get the car scanned with a TechII or equivalent scan tool before you throw any more $ at it. Also, go with a good quality bearing, not just the cheapest thing you can get.

So I had both bearings changed again and lights went away but after 2 months from time to time only the 'Track' light comes on. Not the 'Trackoff' but only the 'Track'
What gives? |
LOW TRAC
When your Enhanced Traction System is there to tell you when the system is active.limiting wheel spin, this light will come on. Slippery road conditions may exist if the Enhanced Traction System active light comes on, so adjust your driving accordingly. The light will stay on for a few seconds after the Enhanced Traction System stops limiting wheel spin. The Enhanced Traction System active light also comes on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be |
The trac light is random. Like it disappeared on Monday and hasnt come back on yet. It is strange that it rrandomly comes on. It hasn't rained or anything.
The car drives normally ven though the light is on. |
I have had this same problem for a while on a 2001 Alero. SVS, ABS, Trac Off lights all one. Needed a new tire so the full service place to which I took it scanned the codes for me. Told me it was the right front. Got some deoxIT and sprayed the connections. Started the car and the lights were off. So I hit the other 3 conncections. Started the car and the lights were off. Went out 2 hours later and started the car, the lights were on. Turned it off, turned it back on, the lights were off.
I'm at a loss for what's going on. Seems to me that intermittent indicator lights usually point to a bad connection. If something is mechanically wrong I would guess that the lights would stay on. But I've cleaned all connections, including the one throwing the code. I also checked the wiring where it bends the most (to the right front wheel). Wiring looks fine. I wrapped some electrical tape around it and repositioned it so that the bend would be less acute. It's a mystery at this point. |
It’s none of that.

I'm recently having this issue with my 2004 alero. The problem mentioned on the title happened recently and it appeared 4 times this month. Car drives fine and it doesnt seem to have any issues at all, I had to pull over, turn off the car, and turned it back on and the lights on the dash will just go away. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Any tips or ideas on what might cause this? Thanks
