Never had a Chevy with abs lights on. However the Ford in my yard has an intermittent 1 and the dodge has a constant 1. Which dodge I guess didn't use specific abs codes at least for 01. So when it happens in a Ford or dodge its just reminding you it's a pile of junk. The Ford has more problems than any car I've had. The dodge you can't find parts for and it was behind technology for its time.

Up here in New England we have salted roads and rust. My ABS system was normal but traction control engaged the right hand brake around turns. This was about 1 minute after I picked the car up after alignment. They had replaced a broken stud. They were unable to look at it and when you turn on dry pavement and you skid alarm beeps you can't live with that. They couldn't tell me what wheel the stud was replaced. I found the new stud and it was opposite the wheel that had the problem. I pulled the sensor and found a ton of metal filings stuck to the ABS Sensor magnet. That must have given incorrect wheel speed and caused the anti skid to kick in. Blew out the sensor, the hum and for good measure popped the axle nut and blew out rust there. You are right Common Sense is a valuable tool. Impact tools probably broke rust free in the hub. Thanks for the videos they get you thinking, and enjoyable to watch. John

Most 2002 to 2007 GM vehicles had bad wiring harness's for the ABS from the wheel and up. Common issue due to thin wire used by the GM contractor they used. Stepper motors for the cluster go bad as well and have led to accidents and tickets due to people not knowing their true speed. Class action suit was filed and GM replaced clusters on vehicles 7 years from manufacture or 70k, which ever came first.

The ABS light came on in my 2003 Toyota Sienna that has nearly 200,00 miles. I wasn't going to worry about it too much as I was going to get rid of it in the upcoming year, but had it in the garage for them to take a look at something else. They came to me and asked if I knew that my ABS sensors on the rear wheels were just hanging there. I said I had no. They put them back in and the ABS light went off and all was fine for a little while. The ABS light came back on and I crawled underneath the vehicle and saw they had fallen out. I assume whatever had held them in had rusted away (I live in the northeast and the van has lived outside for its entire life). I glued them in with some e6000 glue and they have been fine.

@wildbill23c 6 жыл бұрын

Fluid level drops as your brake shoes or pads wear, adding brake fluid is NOT recommended as it will end up all over the place when you have the brake shoes or pads replaced and the pistons are pushed back to their original position. If you have to add brake fluid for any other reason you have a leak, the system is sealed, so if you are losing brake fluid there's a leak. Unless your brake shoes or drums are pretty worn down, the fluid level in the reservoir shouldn't be very low.

On my 2002 GTO the dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree . Everything worked fine .Took it to a dealer . Diagnosed abs module , the box of electronics that bolts to modulator . $ 1200 . I said just unplug the thing and I'll drive with no abs , like every other car I've ever owned . The mechanic said if I do that the main computer will read that the brakes have failed and the car won't start . So I just drove it to a wrecker and bought a used one . $ 150 . All the lights were still on . The wrecker said the computer had to be re- booted . Back to the dealer $ 200 for a re- boot . Had the car another 5 years before selling it . Never had another problem with it. I hate modern cars and damned computers for everything . ps . I'd like to know if the dealer was truthful about the engine not working if I unplugged the module . The wrecker said it was BS .

The abs on my 87 Toyota Supra never gave me any problems and works great. It is also a 3 channel system so it uses a sensor in the transmission for both the rear wheels which is very cool for a early style abs system.

Shine Onn ENT. Is your car the 5 speed or the 4 speed? If it's the 5 speed, check your trans fluid level. It's very important on the 5 speed trans. Too much fluid and too little fluid will make the trans very unhappy. If the level is good, then go and check your transmission computer. If it is filled with transmission fluid, clean it out with maf cleaner, NOT electronic cleaner and let it dry overnight. After this you need to replace your pilot bushing. Even if there's no fluid in the trans computer it's still a good idea to replace the pilot bushing. If that still doesn't do anything, then you need to replace the conductor plate in the trans. It's above the valve body. The 5 speed is very reliable mechanically. Almost always the conductor plate is the problem. Also even when you replace the conductor plate you may have to clear the error codes otherwise the problem will remain.

fun fact i have a 2000 model avalanche and the abs failed in a way that i had no brakes till i disabled the abs systems electrical ie: pulling the fuse and unplugging the actuator

@zuilok 6 жыл бұрын

that sounds like a problem worthy of a recall. On my BMW E36 my ABS failed but my brakes still work just fine 5 years later.

The wheel hubs are prone to rusting in the "salt belt" area of the US.. The rust pushes the sensor out the hub.. Terrible design.. Easier to just pull the fuse.. I did that in my 01 Tahoe

@BruceLyeg 6 жыл бұрын

Yep. Same thing on my Santa Fe. The brake pedal would push up so hard it would kick my foot off of it. Pulled the fuse about 5 years ago. Been good ever since. Had to learn to live with the ABS and brake light on though. Mine was caused by a cracked tone ring. I need to change the CV axles now so I'll put the fuse back in when I do them.

ABS pumps are a pain to change. They always seem to be in a tight place and it's never fun to remove six corroded flare nuts from that tight place. The lesson here is don't be a mechanic in the north east US!

Hey scotty! What could cause an extremely loud screech from the engine bay? I took off both the belts (My ford has two) and I thought maybe that was it. Nope, it still does it. I checked my oil and other fluids and they are fine too, nor is the oil pressure light on. There was some work done to it that required removing the harmonic balancer. Is there any chance it's related to this? I'm stumped as to what is going on. It is definitely not a vacuum leak, I covered all bases on that.

Me too, not worth the money to fix, and in my case rear ABS only isn't useful for anything in the first place...course ABS, traction control, stability control, etc. is nothing more than a safety nanny that let's people who have to business behind the wheel drive :(. Most of my vehicles don't have any safety features at all, and guess what, nothing fails in them because there's no damn computer to fail. Air, Fuel, Spark, that's all I need in my vehicles to get going, I did upgrade the brakes a while back as the brake pads that were on it along with the discs and drums were horrible from the beginning...don't buy cheap brakes or brake parts, at some point you will want to stop LOL.

Be careful. If you drive a car like that and have an accident your insurance company can claim you were driving a car knowing it had "defective brakes" and deny your damage or liability claim.
