No ABS, No traction control, No dummy lights, and No grinding noise...
00 3.4 GLS 106,000 miles with OE wheel hubs.
Could this still be the wheel hubs?? There is no slack in the steering, noise, dummy lights, etc.
Also, has anybody had a issue when slowing to a stop while going down hill (like on a off ramp) and the engine dies?? Had the codes read and it pointed to the TPS, Replaced it, but the problem doesn't happen often, but it has happened after replacing the TPS.

It almost sounds like your EBCM isn't getting power for some reason.

the stalling can really be anything, your car isnt throwing any other codes other then the TPS?

Ok just got back from the dealer, they checked the codes and found nothing, they test drove the car and said the ABS is working but the dash light doesn't always come on... I know the ABS wasn't working, guess I'll try to force to work this weekend.
Also found what's causing the car to stall, get this........ the ignition switch is bad. He tapped the key while the car was started and it turned off. I was able to duplicate the same thing in the parking lot. They wanted almost $500 to replace a $80 part, I think I can handle replacing the ignition switch myself for that price.

Possibly just a wore out key, its been know to happen. Get a new one cut and try that first, much cheaper if it works.

The light never comes on when the abs kicks in, it only turns on when it doesn't work. And you have to be going a certain speed for it to work usually, get up to about 20 or faster on a loose gravel road and slam the brakes. You can tell if its working or not.

It's not a worn key, Tired my 2nd key which was never used (bought the car new) and it still kills the engine when the key is bumped. Going to shoot compressed air into the ignition and just see if its metal shavings or whatever causing the problem. But I still see a new ignition switch in my future.
I'm going out to my friends place this weekend to test the ABS and TC, plenty of gravel roads where he lives.
I noticed the ABS light doesn't come on at start up like all the other lights, I would have to take out the gauge cluster to fix the ignition anyways, I'll just check the bulb.

The gauge cluster uses LEDs so it shouldn't have worn out, but I suppose it is possible. I agree that the ignition switch is probably bad, though I'm not sure why that would cause the other problems.

I'm 90% positive that the gauge cluster stock uses 194's lol not LED's

It uses LEDs for the idiot lights.
