2007 buick allure with ABS and Traction control light on
I have a 2007 3.8L buick allure that has its traction control and abs dash lights on. When the car starts the lights are off, and they turn on about a minute and a half into driving. It started over the summer, but it only occurred occasionally. Now in the colder temps it happens everytime I drive. I have checked the fluid levels and alternator and they seem fine, at this point I'm not sure what the next step is.

I believe the wheel speed sensors on your Allure are built into the hubs.
Depending on mileage (on the car), you might want to replace the front hubs and see if the issue goes away before moving to the rear hubs. Let'* say do this if it has something like 100,000 miles (or more) on it. The front hubs are going to need doing sooner than later anyways and will probably fix your issue.
An alternative would be to get a scanner that can tell you which one is causing the light. This can be done by getting a scanner capable of doing this or getting someone with the right scanner to scan it for you. I'd guess either option in this paragraph will start at $150 and go up from there.

I agree with the others. Sounds like wheel speed sensor. Get a scan tool that can read ABS systems and report back.
