Traction Control Problems
I have discovered a TC problem with my Aurora. Pulling out of my driveway today in 3rd (I do a lot of city driving) my Traction control light would come on and I could here that definitive "wrrrrrr"ing sound of the traction system kicking in. I have a set of stock Michelin Energys on the car, the road conditions are fine, so there is no external reason for the computer to sense a change in road condtions.
I stopped the car, turn the TC off via the button on the console. No problemo. Stopped again, parked the car, re-engaged the TC, put the car in D and continued to experience intermittant TRACTION ACTIVE.
I'm pretty convinced its a sensor malfunction, possibly the Wheel Speed Sensor, any other ideas or experiences to share in the matter. I have make a 3hr road trip this weekend and its something I would like to have a little feedback on. My short term solution. Drive with TC off. However I am finicky and I want things to work properly
Any ideas doods?

Go figure I am no longer experiencing ETCBM problems. I drove with the TC on and it was fine. :?
Meh...if it becomes a problem, I will address it...so far so good.
