My TRACTION ACTIVE message light comes on for no apparent reason. It only occurs when I start moving slowly from a fully stopped position and turning right, such as pulling out of a spot in a parking lot.

Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks.

The second Chevy repair shop I went to found the problem. it was caused by loose wires leading to the traction control sensor on the right front wheel. They reconnected the wires and everything is fine now.
