Trax ABS Speed Signal Malfunction

My 2014 Chevrolet Trax, gasoline engine, is showing a speed signal malfunction at 222361 km. The ABS lamp lights up, creating traction problems and system failure. Could the affected control unit be defective? Any ideas?

Sounds familiar. I have a Trax, too, and had similar issues. Was your speedometer acting erratically? Did you notice any problems with the transmission shifting, or any other warning lights on the dashboard?

Speedometer was indeed acting up. As for transmission, I didn't notice anything unusual. What was the cause in your case?

Yep, sounds exactly like what I went through. For me, the ABS and traction control going haywire was the big clue. Ultimately, it needed a new control unit. Considering the cost, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop for a thorough diagnostic, just to be sure.

Thanks for confirming. I'll take your advice and get it checked out. The repair will cost around 1000€. I appreciate the insight.
