Re: brake issues

Welcome to AF.

It would help to post the year.

With those fault lights on there has to be stored ABS DTCs. What model Snap On scan tool is this? Does it have the capability to retrieve and translate GM specific vehicle chassis/body/ABS codes or do you have the upgrades installed?

Re: brake issues

The MT2500 is a good scan tool as long as it has the upgrades. I am not aware of any diodes in the wiring harnesses from the wheel sensors to the EBTCM module. I see nothing in the factory service manuals. Without the GM vehicle specific ABS system DTCs we would just be guessing.
