How do I turn off my service, abs, and trac off lights off and why would they be on? I have a 2004 Chevy Cavalier with the 2.2 Ecotec engine

Service light can be turned if with an OBII scanner (Autozone or any good parts store can reset service light for FREE) The ABS & trace control lights are in because you have a wheel sensor(s) that are bad - replace bad sensor and then a certified shop or dealer has to reset ABS light (EXPENSIVE TOOL)

My 2005 chevy cavalier has a service engine, abs, and trac off light on. sometimes the low trac light comes on when in the reverse position, then switches to the 3 lights when put in the drive position....

The ABS and traction off lights usually indicate a bad wheel speed sensor. I can't remember if the service light came on the three times mine went. The most common one to fail is the left front.

Try this cheap fix first.

Remove the left front wheel speed sensor, clean and reinstall it. They are magnetic and some times road debris will block the sensor. If that was the problem the ABS and traction lights will go off when you start the car.

Your second option is to have the shop scan the vehicle trouble codes, usually this costs an hours labor.

Hope this helps

Abs and trac light stays on on 2004 chevy cavalier when i turn the steering wheel.both abs sensors were changed and no noticable braking problems.what could it be?

you will have to check the abs wiring harness. the wires going to the wheel speed sensors are more than likely broken setting the code and turning the abs light on. hope this helps.

2004 Cavalier-ABS and Trac light warnings

no you need to take it and have the codes pulled on it, the abs system will disable the traction control system.Without knowing what the codes are for the abs system it would not be possible to say what the problem is.

2004 Cavalier, Service light, ABS light, Trac Off light

Are you using a gel based battery?
Sounds like an overload on the charging system screwing the whole electronics of the car.
If not - get it diagnosed at a dealership.
Sorry.

Trac off light is on and the car wont start

did you get anyone to check the codes?
the trac off light will come on if the ignition module goes the module sits on top of the engine it has silver fins and is held in with 3 torx screws. it sells for about $100 so you might want to have someone diagnose this hope this helps

Low trac light

I had the exact same problem with my 2004 Cavlier. I took it in and the dealer said it was a voltage problem with my speed regulator located in one of my wheel bases. I had it replaced under my extended warenty. I suguesst taking you car to a mechnanic as soon as possible, cause it could be that sensor, or an electrical issue all together. Especially if it is that sensor, since it effects your braking system, traction system, and the overall drivability of the car.

Enhanced Traction System Warning Light (TRAC OFF)

Sometimes it's a complaint with the ABS braking system. If it comes on and you have no other problems and stays on for while, check your brakes. I have had this issue before and had my brakes replaced. They were worn but for some reason were not squeaking.
