It sounds like you have lost air pressure to your master cylinder via a tube from your engine. Or a Immobiliser has interferred with the operation of the braking.

that can mean no power to your ECU.i take it you have turned your key to position two so that your ECU has power and your code reader can then start to read the information from your ECU.

get the codes first ,the car will tell you what is wrong you will need a code reader to do that.

O2 sensors are fitted at the exhaust end of the cat converter The HO2S sensors are fitted between the exhaust manifold and the cat converter. Each has a definite operation and cannot be mixed up.

If you dont have keys or remote then you need them first. Otherwise just pull the handle when it is unlocked.

uhm? what unit?

Dead battery?

Could be the ignition switch, relay or solenoid.

low battery, battery cables not making secure connection, battery terminals oxidized or needing cleaning/brushing .... failed starter .... tap the starter with a wrench, it can revive it :)

First check the that the battery cables are securely fastened .... you may also need to brush/clean the battery posts .... it is either not getting enough battery power(bad battery or bad battery connections), or the starter is failing ..... try tapping the starter with a wrench a bit, strange enough this technique renewed my old starter and kept it going for years :)

After much research & frustration, I learned this seems to be a fairly common problem with the Freestar. (along with many other problems.) We replaced the Brake Pressure Sensor and it corrected the cruise control problem and the Traction Control light. I think the part was about $30. & we were able to replace it ourselves. Hope this helps!

could broken wire or the screen is broken

Sounds like you'll need to have a transmission shop check it out. Could be low fluid pressure or several other things.

Check the cabling, special the one going from the battery to the starter motor / relay. Use a universal meter to check the starter gets its 12 volt.

lots of things can make it "pop". check the hub bearings, the stabilizer links, the tie rod ends, the balljoints, the struts and strut mounts, the engine cradle bushings, the control arm bushings ,and the engine mounts. GOOD LUCK!

no they changed the bell housing and the internals as far as solenoids and switches. to verify call a wrecking yard or trans shop to know for sure.

Knowing the car type would help. If it is a GM when you buy a new computer it does not come with the Eprom chips. you have to take the chips out of your old computer and install them in the new computer through the access plate. If you bought a new computer that came with the chips. You have to take the computer to a GM shop and have it programed to the car that you are putting it in. Have the Vin number with you when you take it to them or they won't be able to program it.
