I have a 2006 GMC 1500 Sierra 4x4 5.3 gas engine.

 

Okay, to my knowledge i have done everything that i could think of. I need some help. I am having a ABS problem that I cant figure out. I am getting my ABS light on my dash. I found out that I have codes popping up that is pointing towards both of my front left and front right speed sensors. About 3 months before, i replaced both of my front hubs with the same brand speed sensors. When the light started to come on and I found out that the codes were pointing at them. I took both of the speed sensors to exchange. that didn't fix it. I have disconnected the battery and unplug them waited for 5 minutes plugged everything back up. No fix! I replaced on of my hubs just to see if that would work, in which it didn't. Now that I have been deployed for a couple of months now, I am starting to think of other things. I know my ABS still works so my ABS is not disabled once so ever. Everthing on my truck is working just fine. I don't know how many times i have cleared the code myself. It still pops up.

 

I just don't know if the EBCM, ECU, or any other control modules on my truck that could be causing this code to pop up. I kinda don't want to replace them> ($$$$$$$$)

 

I was also wondering on a GMC is there another place on my truck that the code could be coming from?

 

I have read plenty of other problems that others are having. I even helped others. Either way none of them have helped me.

if the ABS light is on...you have no ABS... fact...

 

why replace just the sensors?

 

if your bearings are bad ( which is a very common cause of ABS lights coming on) they come with new sensors. you are spending a lot of money for just wheel sensors.

 

sensors: $100

bearing: $175

labor: the same

 

if the bearings are bad and you just replace the sensor, any trash left from the bearing or broken/bad sensor it will damage the new sensor..

 

check your bearings, if you have over 75,000 they are bad.......or will be soon...

I have replaced them at 50,000 for cust.

 

check for broken/burnt wires

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
