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.

Might be a weak or failing water pump... Does it leak antifreeze or do you have to add antifreeze very often? When the engine gets to operating temperature squeeze the top radiator hose and see if you can feel pressure from the water pump forcing water through it.

I have a 2000 pontiac montana and the abs and traction light come on when started but then they go off How do I clear the system so I can check the Problem

If the warning lights go off after you start the van, it should just be a test for the lights. If the lights stay on after you are driving, you need to get the body computer scanned for trouble codes.

2000 pontiac montana Brake light and Trac off stay on

No.
The brake warning light could be telling you there is a problem with the hydraulic brake system or the parking brake.
The trac off light is saying there is a problem with the brakes or engine and the traction control system is disabled.

Why is the ABS showing up on the dashboard of the van

The ABS warning light showing while you are driving shows a fault with the system. The vehicle can be driven and the brakes will operate, but the anti lock facility will not function. Take it and have a scan carried out. That will allow pin pointing of the problem. Regards John

2001 Pontiac Montana Van ABS and Trac off light is on and in the message center it says Service Traction and I noticed that the brakes were really hot and it looked like there was brake dust on the rims it...

The only way to make the lights go off is to fix the problem and then use a scan tool to clear the codes once the problem is fixed.The ABS module is seeing a problem and that is why the lights are on.You need to get the codes from the ABS module.This will help in diagnosing the problem and finding out what is causing the likes to come on.Could be a sensor,a module,or wiring.This is why you need to get the codes.You can post back and I can help explain what the problem could be.Hope this helps.Good luck.

ABS light is on and no traction light is on. I have a Pontiac Grand Prix 2001 gt. Light stays on always. I don't feel a problem with the brakes.

Check around all wheels to make sure the wires going to the wheel are intact and plugged in tightly. I had the same thing on my 2000 G.P. GT, in my case it was just a broken wire to one of the wheels.

Radio Code

I believe you have another problem, because the radio will keep the calibration of the radio as long as it stays in your van. it will only lock if radio is swaped with another pontiac radio. to unlock it you will need a GM tech II to recalibrate the unit.

Brake and ABS warning lights on, trac off on.

You may have a bad abs controller. You need to get the code for the abs light from a shop or auto parts store.
