The ABS system including pump may be faulty which is quite common. You will have to take this to dealership or mechanic. Either there is a bad pump or a fault in the electrical system

2001 Buick Century ABS, TRAC OFF, SERVICE SOON lights after fixing hub

My Buick had an ABS problem and since I had new brakes installed my mechanic disconnected the wiring. You still have full brakes and they will work fine but the ABS part won't work. Since i did not want to spend a lot of money I drove it that way for about three years. ABS is just an addition to help but not all cars have it.

Low trac 2001 Buick Century

Your the first in 3 years to ask if you should park it

Very good question & best way to think

You can drive it until you check for codes
& then have the ABS Braking System diagnosed
as trac control is a near useless part of it.

May just have a bad Wheel Speed Sensor

Abs light, trac off light,and vehicle service soon comes out

Guys i have a 2001 buick century. i ran into that problem figured for sure it was a wheel sensor but it wasn't if you can get a friend with a scanner to pin point which wheel it is then you're half way there. you said when you turn the wheel the light comes on well you know it one of the front wheels for sure, i was with my brother one of us was looking at the dash and the other was moving around the connector to let the other know when the light came on lots of posts spoke about the wires breaking at the point where they bend that wasn't the case. sure enough it was the wires going into the connector as you turn the wheel left and right the wire looses contact for a fraction of a second causing the abs light to come on. so check the connectors at each wheel under the cv joints.
hope this helped
good luck guys

What does trac off light refer to? service engine and trac off light comes on.

Trac is the control that doesnt let your tires spin when they are not making contact with the road. Just by having your emergency brake on will light up the trac light. It also come on with your abs. If you driving on a slick road and you jam on your brakes and the tires slide a little mine will say low track on my car.
