Re: Abs And Brake Lights

Red and yellow lites usually indicate a hyd. or fluid level problem - including year and model of your car may help with answers.

Re: Abs And Brake Lights

run scan and see what codes come up..ususaly code indicates bad speed sensor or low fluid pressure(abs pump going out).

Re: Abs And Brake Lights

Your going to need a ABS compatible scan tool. A simple code puller won't work. You may want to have the codes pulled at a shop and then do the repairs. A ABS scanner is $1000 +.

Re: Abs And Brake Lights

eddie..i would go ahead and take this to the dealer and have them put it on the computer....the abs system on the car is very complicated and needs to be diagnosed by the GM computer...you could have something as simple as air in the line..but the way the system is designed you cant bleed it in the driveway...i know its expensive but your best option is the dealership..failed brakes will cost you more than a diagnostic fee...

Re: Abs And Brake Lights

nope sorry...gm dealer item only...the abs system on that car uses gears and small motors to control the fluid transfer in the system...thats the big black box on the bottom of the master cylinder... you can go to an auto parts store and have them pull a code scan and see if anything comes up since it is free...
