Have replaced the front drivers side hub assembly 3x now. The Service Engine light, ABS light, and Traction light keep coming on. However, this time there is no "active" code, only history. Have tried to clear the history with a code reader and by removing the postitive battery cable for approximately 20 minutes. Nothing seems to clear the code and the lights will not go away? Any ideas?
Only the computer can clear history codes . If the problem was fixed in about 100 ignition cycles the computer will clear this codes . Code reader . will it check Codes in the EBCM - electronic brake control module ? ABS DTC'S

That's indicative of a wheel bearing, which is why you were told to change that out. However, it's also possible that the carrier bearings in the differential (where the drive axles attach) have gone bad. That happened to me on my 300ZX several years ago, and I had to replace the diff bearings. I would have them checked out somewhere other than a dealer (you'll probably get a better price from an independent shop).
As a sidenote, to be sure it wasn't a wheel bearing, if you hear it quiet down in a turn one way but get louder in a turn the opposite way, it's likely the wheel bearing. If you turn left at speed and it gets louder, then it's the right bearing (since you're loading up that side of the car). If it gets quieter in a right turn, it's the right side (you're unloading that side of the car and not putting as much weight on it, so it doesn't drag as badly). See if you get that symptom just to be sure that the wrong side front wheel bearing wasn't changed.

I have a 2003 Alero and I have had this happen to me two times. In my case, the lights were coming on because I had a sensor go bad. There are two ABS sensors, one near the front right of the car and one near the front left. My mechanic replaced both (on two separate occasions) and it fixed the warning lights. About $150-200 part.

Wheel speed sensor that is inside the wheel bearing hub or possibly the wiring harness that connects to the sensor has gone bad. If there are no issues with the harness, then the wheel hub will need to be replaced.

This is normal for your anti-lock brakes to quit when the abs light is on.What you will need to do is retrieve the codes and then you can find out what part of the abs system is giving you the problem.This will also cause the check engine light to come on.You can post back and I can help you with the code or codes that are in the brake control module.Hope this helps.

the anti-lock and traction lights will come on together if there is a common problem with the two, since they are closely related. may be a wheel speed sensor or something similar. the service engine soon light indicates a problem with the engine computer, can be anything from an emission system problem or an engine performance problem. all of these lights can come on with no apparent running problems on the car. the service vehicle soon light is basically a maintenance reminder, an oil change light. take the car into a shop and have the codes read for these lights.
