2001 Bonny - After 10 min of high speed driving, the low traction light
comes on with a slight pull from the left front wheel, like the trac
control was trying to correct a problem.  Goes away in 1 second.
Re-occurs every 20 minutes or so.  Any ideas what's wrong?

sounds like a faulty sensor. it is applying the brake to the wheel it senses
is spinning faster than the other.

I suppose if you had different size tires on the car, you could cause that
all the time.  That would be almost a fool proof way to cause false traction
control activation.
