I had a wheel hub go. I replaced with a brand new duralast hub from Auto zone . Unfortunately I had to do it all over again because the new hub had a bad sensor and was still throwing the T.C. and Stable tac lights on the dash. Soooo, I took it to A.Z. and had them hook the scan tool to it. Unfortunately auto zones best scan tool wouldn't read any of those codes. I then went to a local shop, they had a scan tool that read and confirmed the new hub was bad. Soooo I ordered two new Timkin hubs from Rock auto for$50 less each. Now Im Golden.

So if the sensor is bad will the lights always be on? Or would it depend on how bad your sensor actually sucks?

The way to troubleshoot this is with a scan tool that displays each wheel's RPM live data.
Traction Control/ABS/Stability Control (Stabilitrak) are all the same module/system working differently.
While driving down the road you want to monitor each wheel's RPM. When the issue presents itself, look at the 4 wheel signals. Going in a straight line, they should all be the same RPM. I'm guessing one goes out of whack when it happens. That WSS would be your problem.

It's a fairly expansive meter. I think it reads a rather high frequency.

wat?
I could hear the hub going before it threw those lights. I live in wisconsin and was on my way home from visiting family in eastern ohio. The hub started howling then i heard a crunching sound. Withing a few seconds of that the lights came on. Believe it or not i drove it home, close to 200 miles. It was sunday afternoon and we were still south of Gary Indiana.
At the end i was slowed to 40 mph but we made it!
