I installed a new computer, it's been flashed, and I cleared all engine codes, Bur have 1 abs code.

Now the truck won't start. I cannot relearn my new computer as long as the abs code is present, and I cannot drive it to a shop for brake repair because it won't start. Is there a temp bypass for a wheel speed sensor code?

Installing new PCM that is flashed should start the vehicle regardless of any ABS codes. The ABS uses its own control,module and should have no affect on the vehicle starting

Unfortunately no. But if you replace the hub the ABS computer should not see the error anylonger. The ABS computer does a self test at key on, if there is not error to register then it should give the all clear.

Frm beginning of 2004 nissan maxima ABS problem to present want threw car wash ABS and Brake lites came on on the dash. checked rear sensors 1 worn so replaced sensor and hub assemble and did the recall...

can you do me a favor just unplug the abs module lead, and check that part first then get back to me on here. it is very rare that an abs sensor fails. its always down to the wiring plugs. and a car wash will throw the water in the engine bay, not like road water and any seal that are weak or cracked will be the first problem. plus engine dieing is a good sing the abs unit is not working at all. bad part is if the unit is not completely damaged. if the engine starts without the abs plugged in. but will not when its plugged in. can be a problem with the abs control unit board.

Hi, my wife has a 2008 highlander fwd and after slipping in some snow 4 dash lights came on. VSC off, brake, ABS, and traction control. Engine light did not come on. Dealer downloaded codes C1403, C1404,...

Sometimes a computer reset can clear things up. Try disconnecting the battery overnight. When running the car for the first time after, make sure lights and a/c are off for the first 5-10 minutes or so while it idles and relearns the idle fuel mixture. This clears all the learned functions in the computer so it goes back through the relearn functions.

ABS light comes on... but no noticble degradation in operation etc.

Most likely a wheel speed sensor, hopefully... The only thing that will change when the ABS light is on is that the ABS will not function as long as the indicator is on. I hope this info helps.

When the airbag system is in functioning condition, the airbag warning light will remain on for about 7 seconds and go out when the ignition switch is set to ON .

If there is any malfunction, the airbag warning light will either stay on or off continuously. In such cases, perform on-board diagnostic in accordance with the specified procedure to determine trouble codes.


  1. Turn ignition switch ON (with engine OFF ).

  1. Connect DIAG. terminal to No.2 terminal of diagnosis connector located inside lower cover.
  2. Check in accordance with the trouble code indicated by the AIRBAG warning light, and record the trouble codes.
  3. Turn the ignition switch "OFF " and remove the DIAG. terminal from No.2 terminal of diagnosis connector.

HOW TO READ TROUBLE CODES
The ABS lamp flashes a code corresponding to the faulty parts.

The long segment (1.2 secs on) indicates a "ten", and the short segment (0.3 secs on) indicates a "one".





NOTE: This is the only information provided by the manufacturer for clearing diagnostic trouble codes.

CLEAR MEMORY
After eliminating problem as per trouble code, clear memory as follows:

Make sure ignition switch is ON (and engine off). Connect one DIAG. terminal (1) on diagnosis connector (2) terminal No.1.

where warning light is flashing, connect the other DIAG. terminal (3) on terminal No. 2 for at least three seconds . After memory is cleared, normal warning light flashing rate resumes. (Warning light flashes every 0.6 seconds (ON-OFF operation.) Memory cannot be cleared if any problem exists.

After clear memory and then DIAG. terminals (1) and (3), extract from diagnosis connector (2)

I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand AM SE with a V6 3.4 liter engine. I had my check engine light come on and went to Auto Zone to get a code which related to a emission vapor leak. So I took car to my mechanic...

the PCM may need to be reprogrammed by a dealer - I would also suggest seeing the dealer for any programming updates for your current PCM for this or similiar problems. I know many people think dealers are rip offs, but how mauch have you wasted at this point ??

How do I clear abs codes on 02 tahoe?

You can clear it with a scan tool, or it will clear it self after 3 start up's if the ABS issue has been addressed and will clear from it's history after 100 start up's. The other thing you can do is to clear the ECM for every DTC codes. Place the ignition key to the run position and pull the ECM (Batt) Fuse from the fuse box for 30 sec. Then place it back in, wait 10 seconds and start the Tahoe. THE ENGINE MAY STALL, BUT LET IT. Just start it up again and let idle for 1 min then go for a test drive. The ECM is relearning the whole engine and transmission, if there is any issues the MILL light will come on and the codes will be new. If the light does not come one then there is no DTC codes and the Tahoe is clean like the day it came off the assembly line. Good luck and hope this helps.
