abs Brake light on

otiee · 12-17-2005, 08:30 AM

2001 S10 pickup 4.3L the abs light came on and now stays on after every startup. Talked to dealer and was told the problem can only be A faulty brake computer @$1000.Suggested fix was put A piece of black tape over the light if I did not want spend the $1000.
Is there any other possible problem besides the computer that would cause the ABS light to stay on?

you need to get someone to pull a code so we can tell you what you need to do. it could be anything at this point not just a faulty ebcm.

a solid light means a hard failure, the system checks detects something wrong and shuts the abs down, code needs pulled, and a faulty ebcm will not have a code
