Are you close to a Chevy dealer who could plug it into a scanner and try and pinpoint it for you?

To me time is worth more than money. If you know at least what to change it may save you changing multiple parts before finding the one that's bad. Plus a lot of time wasted.

So the traction control light came on or no on the dash? Abs light doesn't always come on with a wet or bad sensor, did u drive through a puddle?

"Service ESC Service Traction ESC off Traction off" is what is on DIC. No abs what so ever. Think its a hub?

Either sensor is shot or ur wiring got wet. I put silicone on the back of the connector on the harness where wires go in, solved getting wet issue. Then my sensor went bad , was all rusted to **** the hub. Didn't throw abs at first either , but it will. U can always disconnect the batt for a while and reset and see what that does. Also if u uploaded a tune, and u start it without taking the key out first right after, will do same thing

Don't take Em apart without a new one, mine literally fell apart. Axle shaft was stuck in there a little. I put anti seize on the splines when I installed new one. I put that **** on everything lol. Makes for easy dealings in the future
