The first thing you need done here is to have the battery charging system load tested that is to say the alternator.

SOURCE: cruise control doesnt work on my 2003

Please don't leave me bad feedback if this is not the problem, but one thing about certain GM's, you will not find it in the circuit diagram, but if there is a light out on the third brake light, the cruise may not work.

I was an A tech for GM mostly rebuilding transmissions which meant I got into the electronics allot, and cruise was always the hardest to figure out. I spent two hours on a chevy once only to find out about the hidden circuit related to the third brake light. An older tech had a good time letting me search before he finally told me the secret. They may have done away by now, but you will loose nothing just to check the brake light.

Hope it helps.

Trac off light coming on

You have a check light or MIL Lamp on

Nothing new there

Same as any other vehicle issue

Check for codes & diagnose & repair ,in
your case, the ABS braking System & Trac Control

Anytime you have a transmission issue,you stop
using the vehicle immediately,just a few miles to get
home or to a shop is all you got,then the damage starts

I have a 97 lumina an my trac light just came on and now my brakes are really hard to stop what could be wrong??

HAVE VECHICLE CODE SCAN SOUND LIKE FAULTY WHEEL SPEED SENSOR.WHEN YOU SEE LOW TRAC LIGHT YOU ABS BRAKE SYSTEM IS ADJUSTING BRAKE PRESSURE TO KEEP CAR FROM SKIDDING LIKE WHEN YOU ARE ON SLIPPERY WET ROADS OR ICE. IF YOU SEE LOW TRAC LIGHT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM IN ABS BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM.

I have a 02 Cavalier that when your driving the Trac off light comes on when the light is on it runs rough and shifts hard but if i put it in park turn it off and restart it it's fine

There is a malfunction in you antilock brake/traction control system. When the TRAC light is on, the computer is trying to tell you either 1. That the traction control is active and is controlling your brakes, engine and transmission to stop a wheel skid, or 2. There is is a malfunction in your traction control system.

In the first case above, the TRAC light will only be on for a few seconds until the conditions causing your wheels to slip no longer exist. If the light is staying on even though there is no way your wheels are slipping or skidding, then this is a malfunction. You must scan both your Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and your Antilock Brake System (ABS) module to properly diagnose a problem with this system.

I don't understand the whole traction light thing. my car always says trac off-except when it says low trac and slides like it's on ice.

TAKE CAR TO A GARAGE OR DEALERSHIP HAVE THE ABS BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL CODE SCAN.YOUR ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WILL COME ON ADJUSTING BRAKE PRESSURE TO AVOID A SKID.THAT WHY LOW TRAC LIGHT COMES ON. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN YOU SEE LOW TRAC LIGHT DRIVING ON DRY ROADS PROBLEM IS IN THE ABS BRAKE UNIT OR BAD WHEEL SPEED SENSOR.

My trac light says trac off, and my abs light is on. what does that mean? I have a 1999 grand am Pontiac.

the trac light is the traction control, the abs light means the antilock brake system is not functioning properly. the trac control is no issue. the abs will not cause the brakes to fail but they will lock instead of pulsing.

My vehical service soon, anti-lock, and trac off light all came on at once the other day but when Im driving my car nothing seems to be wrong with it I drive a 2002 oldsmobile alero what coulld be the...

sounds like your ABS sensor is bad. The ABS sensor controls the trac. control. but it wouldnt effect daily driving. you would only notice it if you slamed on the brakes on a slick surface. the brakes will lock up like they ARE NOT supposed to.
