Ok... But of an odd one. Its on a car that hardly gets used. Its a V8 HSV VX

It started about 6 months ago while driving. Some of the warning lights came on, (check engine, abs, airbag, traction) while they were on the cruise control didnt work. They stayed on for a while then went off on their own and everything was fine again. Now they are on when the car is started, they do go out occasionally but are on most of the time now. The car didnt stall. And it drives fine and has all the power it normally has.

I have a few ideas but will let you guys throw some out there first. :)

I agree, faulty ABS module or bad connection. Try cleaning the terminals on the connector with contact cleaner, that sometimes works.

It has just started in my clubby, just make sure you get the codes wiped after installing the new module.

for posterity you don't need to get codes cleared replacing the module, simply disconnect the negative terminal before replacing the module - once it is all reconnected you will need to enter any radio pins and that's about it all codes will be gone.
