1991 cadillac fleetwood abs light on.

My 1991 cadillac fleetwood is making a humming/roaring sound while driving, the ABS light is also on. I think they have something to do with eachother. I've greased the bearings, and cleaned the speed sensors, which both had no effect. Any info on this will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The ABS module may have failed - check for trouble codes (DTCs) with a good OBDI code reader.

SOURCE: ABS/TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ON

Sounds like they may have left something disconnected like the ABS/ Traction control wheel sensor, make them fix it!!

service engine soon is a mere fuel problem....make sure youre putting premium fuel only in your tank...throw a hand held code reader on it and I would bet you money its fuel related..usually nothing at all to worry about...the code reader can also turn off the light for you

SOURCE: abs light/traction control light

You can check out what the trouble code is by pushing and holding the information button and the up arrow (right side of instrument cluster above the radio) until all the instrument clusters light. Press the information button (last) to enter test mode. I've had an error C1234, meaning Left rear wheel sensor fault. I found the problem to be a corroded connector under the chasis just under the rear left door about 2 feet in. I had to by-pass (replace 1 wire due to corrosion at the connector.

I have the same car and had the same issue, you will need to replace a wheel bearing hub assembly. The speed sensor is more than likely bad. I actually had the problem yesterday, and I replaced the hub today and it cost me $142.00 = tax for the repair. It's not hard to do, if you have the tools. Hope this helps

Hello: There are many things that will cause the lights to come on. You can check the brake fluid if it is low that will cause the light to come on. you can clear the code with a up scale scanner but if the problem is not corrected the light will come back on.

1991 Cadillac Fleetwood 4.9 with V8 engine. Where is the fuel pump located on it please?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

It is hiding inside the fuel tank, and the fuel tank has to be removed to get to it. What makes you think it needs changing? Did you test the pressure?

Why does my ABS light stays on and sometimes i get a vibration in the brake petal causing my 2002 Cadillac escalade not wanting to stop?

The light being on means the system has detected a problem in one or more sensors. The vibration is the ABS modulating the brakes to prevent skidding because it has detected a wheel that is locked up. That wheel is most likely the one sensor that is giving you the error.

I keep hearing a humming sound coming from the front driver side wheel. The faster I go the louder it gets. Sometimes when I make right hand turns I hear clicking sound. This morning my ABS light came on...

Bad Wheel Hub Bearing

Do both sides

The clicking is most likely because you have
not done any brake work in over a year,removing
rust,lubing things,etc

You may get some codes for the ABS, but need to
have professional scan tool software, in Enhanced
Mode to retrieve them, from the ABS Module

I have a 1989 cadillac fleetwood can you change the brake system from abs to normal and what is needed

Sounds like a trick question...the abs unit can be unplugged at the unit, and you will then have a regular brake system, but your abs light will be lit all the time-the bulb can be removed if it bothers you, not hard to do on an older caddy.

Traction light stays on and make a roaring sound how do i solve this problem when the breakes has alredy been changed [email protected]

sounds like you have a bearing going out. This can set the traction and/or ABS lights as the wheel speed sensor gets confused by the excess vibration. Does the sound stop when turning a certain direction? If it's quiet turning right, suspect the right bearing, and vice-versa. Please let me know if you have questions or need instructions.

Why does the silhouette make the hummin nooise when the abs/tcs light is on

The humming noise is probably caused by a bad bearing hub assembly which also caused the abs and tcs light to come on. Does this only make the noise when the lights are on and vehicle is not moving or just when vehicle is moving?

THE CAR DISPLAYES ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT THEN SHUTS OFF IMMIDIATELY AFTER 91 FLEETWOOD CADILLAC , BROUGHAM

I am assuming this is while you are driving the vehicle? The light should come on and turn off at start up, as the ABS computer runs a self check. If the issue presents itself while driving, it is likely a wheel speed sensor that is starting to fail. If the computer looses the signal it will turn on the dash light, when it sees a signal again it will turn the light off. Could be a broken wire between the chassis and wheel speed sensor or a bad sensor. If you can, check the ABS codes, they should be stored.
