SOURCE: 2002 Suburban ABS System Brake Light

I have had this same problem on two difference vehicles both of which are suburbans.

The solution is simple.
Remove the engine cover.
Locate a small ground wire that is bolted to the top rear of the engine block on the passenger side.
Remove the bolt, clean surfaces and replace.

This should solve your problem.

I know it seems too easy but it works.

SOURCE: ABS and BRAKE light at the same time

push the pedal and see if it goes to the floor slowly or fast, if so,some thing like this i would lay on the ground in the back and have some one push the pedlal and hold it, look for fluid, like wet spot near the wheels first ( i have seen wheel cylinder go bad but not leak alot at one time so keep that in mind too) and make your way to the front on the driver side inside of the fram.i dont think its the master cylinder but see if you can see a wet spot at the bottom of the master and the booster( i seen masters not leak as will )

leaks will make the ABS lite come on

2003 trailblazer brakes quit working and brake light and abs light come onm when you turn car off and turn back on lights go off and brakes reset and work. Do you know what would cause this problem

Do you mean they are spongy or they quit altogether? If spongy, you probably have very low fluid in the reservoir and you are pumping air into the system (fill the reservoir and try again - however, may need a brake bleed, which is tricky with ABS systems). If the ABS is failing, you should see error codes (using a good code reader that will read the ABS ones). Lastly, your brake master cylinder may need to be replaced.

Abslight stays on. How to fix? This is a2007trailblazer?

First you need to have EBCM - electronic brake control module check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's . If the light is on there is a code stored . I think most part stores can do this and for free . After you find out what code is stored , looking up that code in service repair information for diagnostic trouble shooting chart would be next step . There are a few codes too.
DTC C0035 or C0040
DTC C0045 or C0050
DTC C0110
DTC C0131
DTC C0161
DTC C0186
DTC C0196
DTC C0201
DTC C0240
DTC C0241 or P0856
DTC C0244 or P1689
DTC C0245
DTC C0283
DTC C0287
DTC C0290 or C0292
DTC C0455
DTC C0550
DTC C0558

Find the code do the diagnostic's , fix the problem , wiring issue's , a sensor , bad module ,what ever it is . The light will go out then . Here is a sample of code discription .
• DTC C0035 Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit
• DTC C0040 Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit

Why is my ABS system kicking on for no reason on my 2009 trailblazer?

There is ALWAYS a reason.
Reasons that the ABS light will illuminate:
  1. Brake pads, brake shoes, rotors, or drums worn beyond allowable specification;
  2. Brake fluid level low, or brake fluid leaking;
  3. Failed ABS control unit;
  4. Failed ABS sensors at wheels

Abs light flashes and i fill it in my brake peddle sometimes it's like my abs is kicking in.

When the warning light comes on it should store a trouble code in the computer.
You would need to have the computer scanned to proceed with testing.

2002 KIA Optima LX rear brakes done last year did fronts drums were good. Slowly over 2 months before fronts changed brake pedal is kicking back, now it kicks back at evenslower stops. Thinking its ABS sys...

make sure rotors were machined and are not out of spec. bleeding the brakes to start. make sure you do it in the correct bleeding sequence.most are RR, LR, RF, LF. check with manufacturer to be sure for your application. also check the brake linings front and rear for contamination (grease, brake fluid etc.) if this doesnt get you anywhere then unplug the ABS module. yes it is ok to do so and no you will not lose your brakes by doing this. if the problem stops then you need to try to bleed abs module. bleed it the same way you would a wheel. make sure key is off for this. it is a high pressure system and can injure you if your not careful.. once bled if it does not solve problem you will have to replace abs module. you can get new from dealer, remanufactured from parts store or used from salvage yard. before you do any of that bleed the brakes good. having a buddy to help makes this easier. best way is to start with the sequence and pump the brakes about 10 times. hold pedal down and crack bleeder. then just pump 3 times and on the 3 pump hold. crack the bleeder and shut the bleeder before your helper releases the pedal. do this until there is nothing but fluid coming from the bleeder. keep an eye on the master cylinder making sure its full of fluid at ll times or you will have to start over

The abs and safety brake light has come on. Is this a fuse problem

check your brake fluid level, brake system, wheel sensors. Dirty wheel sensors usually cause the ABS light to come on. As for the brake warning light, it may be low on fluid (possible leak) or faulty E-brake switch.
