Brake troubleBNSFPITBOSS 07-03-2009, 02:55 AM Hello,I have a Buick Century 2000 with 150,000 miles 3.1 engine.This winter while traveling in 6-8" of icy slush had to slam on brakes and all the brake lights came on-- yellow{ anti-lock } yellow { trac off } and Brake { RED } I used my OBDII scanner and could find no codes?? Thanks for any help. Corey richtazz 07-03-2009, 08:30 AM when you slammed your brakes, those lights came on because the ABS kicked in, the trac control shut off due to the lock-up and the pedal probably sunk below a certain point causing the red light to come on. If none of them stayed on, this is normal. BNSFPITBOSS 07-03-2009, 06:11 PM Thanks for the reply,I have not drove the car in a while account all of the lights are on all the time now,fluid level is ok and I was going to do a brake job all the way around,but maybe I should get the warning lights reset first? Thanks Corey richtazz 07-11-2009, 10:28 AM Do you still have good pedal, or does it sink to the floor? If the pedal sinks and your fluid level starts falling, you probably blew a rusty steel brake line when you slammed the brakes causing a loss of pressure which tripped the red warning light. Look for fluid leaks under the car. If no leaks, you may have blew out the master cylinder. BNSFPITBOSS 07-11-2009, 02:18 PM Thanks for the reply,yes I have good pedal and the brakes seem to be working fine,other than having all the lights on.No leaks,fluid level full. I am going to start to do a brake job on the front and I will look for any broken wires or any bad parts,I am doing this as I was going to do a complete brake job any way.I will get back with any findings,Thanks Corey vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
