Your ABS (antilock brake system) has detected a problem in the system that is causing the ABS pump motor to activate. I suspect you have a bad front wheel speed sensor providing false information to the onboard computer. The system will need diagnostic work performed to locate the actual cause of failure.I hope this helps. Good luck

I have 94,000 miles on my 2004 Toyota Camry Solara. Do I need a Timing belt at this time. What else is essential at this time? I am trying to save money.

i would replace the belt. if the belt breaks you could bend the valves. i had mine break at about 102,000. bent 4 valves.

Hi I have trouble in the battery of my 2001 toyota vitz,the problem is when ever I connect the battery the rear break light glows and never goes off even if I start the engine and start driving and also...

No there is a brake switch to turn on the brake lights when you step on the brake pedal. It is located near the rake pedal under the dash. It has more then likely failed.

2002 mercury cougar- electrical problem when i hit the breaks

Sounds like a wiring short somewhere. With the car not running, how do the brake lights look when you press the pedal? Check if things are different with headlights on or off... don't guess. Could be a bad ground connection also. Also, make sure your battery is charged and the alternator is working.

2001 GMC Jimmy break lights not working but all

Check the brake light switch should be a orange wire with 12v then a white wire with 12v when the pedal is pressed.If htat cks good then ck the hazard switch by moving it up and down and wiggeling the knob with the brake pedal pressed if they start working then your multifunction switch is bad and needs to be replaced.

2001 Ford Ranger SRS brakeks and bearing problems

Your truck has sealed bearings in the front but they can go bad after several miles. If the truck is not stopping straight or you are getting a pulse through the break pedal (and sometimes a shimmy in the steering) then it's time to replace the rotors and pads. If the truck is stopping and driving fine then I wouldn't worry about it.
