Low Traction Control Light and Wheels Grab When Car Moving

Problem with my 1997 Buick Regal GS.
3.8L V6.
Warning lights = low traction ( sometimes).
My low traction light comes on every time I move from a stopped position. If I start off in reverse the low traction light comes on and its hard to move. I can feel the wheels trying to correct themselves (grabbing). When I am in drive the same thing. As soon as I start to accelerate the low traction comes on and I feel the grabbing.


Answer:  Sounds like a problem with one of the wheel speed sensors. When a wheel speeds sensor is reading differently than the other three, the ABS computer - which controls the Traction system, sees this as wheel spin and tries to take control of the matter. Would need to get the ABS computer codes scanned for a trouble code that would tell you what part of the system is having a problem.
