Pontiac Repair: Grand Am Question, wheel speed, abs light

Question
my grand am's light that says "Service engine soon" "Trac off" and ABS" came on
and i was wondering why these are there and how long can you drive it with
them being on??

Answer
Hi Jessie:

Is it service engine soon or service vehicle soon? It makes a difference. The vehicle soon light would be turned on due to the abs lamp being on. The service ngine soon light is an emission problem somehere. either way the car is driveable. As long as a service engine light is not flashing you will not damage anything right away. The ABS light and trac lights are related more than likely this car has a bad wheel speed sensor or harness to a sensor that is bad causing the lamp to come on. Hope that helps you out. Good luck :}
