Regal with sensor problem
I just recently purchased two Buick regal GS's 1997.5 and a 98 i have a problem getting the service vehicle soon light abs and traction off light when i purchase the vehiclce the owner told me that a mechanic broke a wheel sensor and it needed to be repaired. So i repaired the line by soldering back together no good still on i had it scanned and it showed all sensors and what ever else that was in error the mechanic said that it was probably the brain to the system the ebtcm can these fault or short out i found one of these modules at the junk yard i havent put it on cause it kind of warped from heat i read that these ground out on the box and melt on the casing is this true and is the GS the only model this module comes on having hard time finding a replacemant any assistance would be grateful

Re: Regal with sensor problem
Welcome to AF.
When do the ABS, SVS and Trac Off lights come on? When the vehicle is stationary or moving? The EBTCM module from the same year Regal LS model should be the same at least up to 1998. In 1999 GM changed the ABS braking system and it uses some different components to include location. Are you sure the wheel sensors are good. What did the scan tool say on wheel sensor comparative output?
