check and clean the wheel speed sensors and the tone ring. It could be a bad sensor, bad ring or bad control module, too.

I would say yes if the ring was caked with rust or dirt, but if its only in a few places, maybe not. It is just seeing a discrepancy between the wheel speeds or at least that is my thought.

Thanks that is a good thought, is it possible to check the the ring without dis -assembly? perhaps with a inspection camera?
any suggestion? it would quite a pain to disassemble the 4 assy to check.

Thanks again

I have a 2012 and had all traction control lights on, I first swapped all 4 sensors at the wheels and that didn't fix it. I got a better code reader and found out that it was the abs module, witch is not easy find. I found one used on eBay and replaced it and then took it to a Chevy dealership and had them program it to the car. A couple of hundred dollars later and everything is good.
