ABS Light is On

[muellej6]

I own a 1999 Grand Am GT. A few months ago I noticed my ABS Light has been coming on and off. I could drive for a while, then all of a sudden my ABS Light comes on and stays on. Sometimes when I am parking and the ABS Light comes on, my car doesnt want to stop very well, or atleast right away. Once the light comes on and stays on, my brakes are fine, even though my ABS doesnt work. Also, when I was testing the EVO/ABS SOL fuse, it barely lit up. It wasnt my tester because it would light up fine on other fuses. Can anyone help me???

Welcome to AF.

Get it scanned.

Its probly something in the ABS system, but with out scanning it you'll just be guess.

I will get it scanned on monday. I was also wondering if you would know why my low oil pressure light comes on once in a while. It never stays on, it will go out after like 10 seconds of staying on. It doesnt come on every day, maybe 3 or 4 times a week I will see it, then it goes out.

First off I'd check the oil level.

I assume your GT is a 3.4, it only holds 4.5 quarts of oil so if its a quart low (which is not good) , the low pressure light should come on.

But it could be the sending unit is faulty or it wires somewhere.
Worst case something internaly could be bad causing the low pressure light to come on.
I wouldnt worry unless the oil pressure light is always on.

On older Ga's(90-96ish) its kinda normal when you first start the engine, or when idling , the gauge would drop to 0 psi but return after you gave it gas.
