low trac. light
I am getting a low trac. light as I brake and slow down to around 1-2 mph. When this lights up the brake pedal losses pressure. The whole thing only lasts about 5 seconds. It's a 95 z28, took it local auto place to see codes, but showing error could not read. Anybody have any ideas, before I take it to the dealer? Thanks in advance!

do u have traction control??? cuz i have it and that light comes on in situations where my tires would normally break loose and i would lose tracton. maybe something is causing ur tires to break loose and activate the traction control???

Sound like an ABS problem, if one of your sensors is bad and detecting a lock up or your ABS isn't working right for some reason it will trigger the low trac light and the loss in pedal pressure would be the ABS modulating.

I'm with batman. the only thing that would affect pedal feel would be ABS.
