2001 Suburban ABS motor staying on after ignition is off

I have a 2001 Chevy Suburban and the ABS light is on and the ABS motor will not shut off even when the ignition is off. I have pulled the 70amp fuse to stop the motor from running from running.

Can someone help?

Thanks BIll

    I found a company that will rebuild the module for $130 dollars. All I have to do is take off the module and mail it to them. There is a 2 day turn around. If I do not remove the pump do I still have to bleed the pump and lines at the wheel?
    There diretions said just toe wrap teh pump and connectors up real good to keep out dust particle.

    What do you think.

    The company is Module Master

    Thanks Bill

What you have is a ABS module that has shorted out internally. you have to replace that module and then bleed the ABS pump AND the brakes at all wheels.

Testimonial: " Thanks !This was very helpful. Do they have a abs relay and where is it located. Thanks, Bill "

    The ABS relay for the ABS pump would be located in the fuse box/power distribution box in the engine bay. I do not know exactly whic on it is but it should be labeled on the little lid you have to remove

    You may not hva e to if yu can remove that module. Whemn you remove it mke sure you do not see any brake fluid, If you do then you will have to bleed the pump and wheels.

    ABS light ON, ABS pump is always running,. The module is failing causing problems with the ABS pump running constantly, also will drain your battery. Remove the ABS fuse to prevent ABS motor burn out. We repair ABS modules (also known as EBCM electronic brake control modules) for many vehicles, please see list below. Dont wait until your ABS pump burns out. There is a company that rebuilds it for $79. myairbags.com

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

I know nothing about cars but my ABS just activated on my 2001 Chevy Suburban. Cut ignition off and motor still running. Happened in 2005 also, cost $1500 to fix. Is there anything I can do so I can drive...

Remove the ABS maxi-fuse (Large fuse) located in the under hood electrical center. In the event you cannot locate that fuse, you can unplug the ABS pump two wire connector at the ABS pump motor located under the vehicle.
Good luck

ABS light stays on all of the time.

Your dealing with OBDII
I am dealing with OBDI "93 Caprice Classic"
***I have been told***
The code is read from the ABS light on the dash
If it blinkes 3 times and stays on, Bad ground, if it flashes more then that it's a bad sensor and the count will give you the bad sensor.
Unfortunatly mine blinks three time and I have not found the ground wire yet.
Good luck

01 Suburban with abs system. abs light came on

A relay controls the ABS motor. You can trace the wires running to it. The next time you shut the engine off unplug the relay. If that shuts it off get a new relay for the old one will not open its circuit to shut off the motor to the ABS motor
