Hi, I have a 1997 chevy c1500 cheyenne, i just bought the truck and there was a service engine light and abs light on, i replaced the brake switch and the neutral safety switch and that got rid of my service engine light but not the abs, just read the codes and they came up as p0719, brake switch b circuit low which is why i replaced the brake switch, reread and cleared the codes after replacing the switch but the abs light is still on but there are no new dtc's, any ideas? maybe the harness on a wheel speed sensor?

Do you have a scanner that specifically reads abs codes not just the P codes?

That will not read abs info, only a scanner designed to do so will.

Max is correct, that code reader will only read "P" codes....

More expensive scan tools will read, "P","B", "C", "U" codes....ABS codes are "C" codes...

I would check out the front wheel sensors probably rusted out ..
