Recently my ABS (Antilock Brake System) and Brake light have came on the dash. I was parked at a store when it popped up out of no where. The brakes are working as they usually do so I was wondering if perhaps the Brake Fluid is needing to be flushed or changed, or would these lights come on due to pads needing replaced. My thinking is that it is something more internal than just pads with the system lights coming on.....could you help me so that I can resolve this problem "in house"
Might save you a whole lot of time if you stop by autozone, or Pep Boys, and get the free scan & see which sensor may be faulty, or sending code. I've had mine trip from driving in nasty weather for a while before, and a trip to the carwash, and concentrating the sensor areas with spray, (back of wheels area) put light back out, next start.
Hi, I had the same problem on my Voy 2005 and after I checked the ABS sensors and repaired EBCM ground under driver's door it was the ignition swich that I got from autowreckers for $50.00 and it fix the problem. I had this swich already replaced under warranty.
Job takes 30 min and is easy dealer wants aprox $250.00 to do it
You need to have a scanner plugged into your computer and codes pulled. The ABS system has sensed a problem and will not work proper until the code is cleared. You will have standard brakes with no ABS at this time. You can take it to you local garage, a GM dealer or a big chain repair shop.
Whenever
this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating
that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of
lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected
a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM,
SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must
now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and
"scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the
problem(s)
