1998 Cadillac El Dorado V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 50000. miles

TRACTION CONTROL LAMP COMES ON AT 55 MILES PER HOUR

The 1998 Eldo has 3 codes: ACM B1341, TCS C1233, TCS C 1235 Would any of these indicate the problem or are they just history of a fault? THANKS !

The 1233 and 1235 are wheel speed sensor codes. They are for the RF and RR respectively. Either check the codes when the fault occurs, or clear them and drive until the fault occurs and see which one resets. I am skeptical in the fact that you have two sensors dropping out. It could be EBTCM at fault, but first we need to determine that.
