Low trac/ABS lights.
When i'm driving normal and about to stop, my low trac light comes on and my brakes feel really wierd like i'm on ice or something and it takes longer time to stop. I don't have traction control on my 95 Z28. When i start my car, ABS light comes on. I started having this problem after i took her out from winter Hibernation (Never before) Anyone know how to fix this problem?

The "Low Trac" light comes on when the ABS system detects wheel slippage. The weird pedal feel is also a symptom of the ABS system engaging to minimize that slippage. If you're completely sure the wheels aren't slipping, then I would guess that something is wrong with one or more of your wheel speed sensors.
Does the ABS light come on and stay on, or does it come on for a few seconds when you start the car and then turn off?

Could be several causes. A dirty rear sensor is a common cause. Remove the ABS sensor from the top of the differential and clean it. Another cause could be a faulty front ABS harness due to exhaust heat.
The sensor is held down with a small bolt.
