Ok Guys/Girls i have a problem, 4 out of 10 times i accelerate normally (like from a stop sign or a light) my Traction control light blinks and i loose power till it goes off ... Now These are dry streets with no issues, i also feel the traction control motor make a noise and kick on... This is a AWD TBSS ... could that motor be bad or could it be a sensor of some sort.... I need this fixed ASAP..Any help Would be Appreciated.

Does it happen when you take off in a straight line or in a turn?

I had a hub on my Saab that caused an issue but it was only after a turn. As stated Steering wheel sensor can be a culprit as well.

The only way that I know of to further diagnose is if you have a Tech 2 or pay the dealer to try and get it to act up, which would be costly.

Wheel speed sensor connector corrosion has caused huge issues as well. Trace the wire back from the wheel speed sensor in the hubs to the connectors and disconnect connector and look for corrosion on the contacts.

Good luck.
