Oldsmobile siloette Traction control issue

My 2000 siloette has been showing "Check traction control" and "ABS" I replaced the two front bearings ( found a great deal at A1 Auto). The car still shows intermintently the warning lights and when not needed the anti spin engages. Sometimes the anti skid engages at speeds @ 15-30mph very disturbing!!
What am I missing. I want to get the car ready for winter and I am stumped.
I replaced the bearings for 2 reasons: they are original and the anti spin was engaging sooooooooo I fiqured why not replace the front bearings. I replaced the rears @ 4 years ago and they seem fine. Help. PS All 4 tires are new and are balanced.

Look closely at the harnesses that go to each sensor.

Ok this is a new one. I was reading GM notes on issues with the olds silloette traction control and ABS. It seems the driver side rear taillight plays an important part in the traction control problems.
I am not suprised...over the past 10 years I have replaced the tail light bulbs over 2 dozen times. It seems the 'board' the bulbs plug into overheat and cook off. If the board is bad you will get a 'check traction control' message on your dash. I replaced the board and over the last two weeks have not had an issue. Just a FYI
