Default traction control

Has anyone experienced the traction control light coming on for no reason. Happened to me when i was travelling about 2mph and making a right hand turn. Road conditions were dry, and light braking while turning into my driveway. Also happened when i was just starting out from a stop and it was in heavy traffic so there was no excessive throtle being applied. This is a 2001 Impala LS with about 45,000 miles on it. Took vehicle into dealer and no code was found. Are there any tsb on this subject. Thanks

I had that problem with my Impala also. I had the front abs controllers in the wheel hubs replaced by the dealer. It did solve the problem. Hope this helps!

You probably have it repaired by now, but have you checked the level of brake fluid in your master cylinder?
