Trac off and Anti lock lights are coming on. What is the issue?

I had an 04 Olds Alero with that same issue. Happened after I got the car back from the body shop following an accident. I took it to a dealership to get looked at and they told me it was something to do with (now don't quote me on this) a "antilock sensor(s) that was going bad". Something to do with the brakes.
Now, on my SE Bonnie, my brake light & antilock lights would come on. I had to pull over and reset it by turning off and on the car. Last week I replaced my brakes(they were really bad) and now those lights have not come on ever since.
Good luck!

The most common cause is a bad wheel speed sensor in the hub. However, there are other causes, too. The only way to know is to have it scanned with a scanner that can read abs codes.

Yes what they said (previous comment)! I couldn't remember the name of the sensor, but that's what I had issues with, with my Alero.

Does the Brake light come on when this happens as well? Also does this happen as soon as you start the car or after you start moving?

You might consider changing the title of the thread so it draws attention to your issue.

Do you have any way to scan the car?

TechII scanner could tell you what's up. In my case, it was the EBCM.
