flashing brake light


Recommended Posts

my brake light was flashing a code I don't have the codes for the brake system, it was 4, 15 times , then one 3 then back to the 4's? does this make sense to anyone?

thank's LINK :thumbs::seeya:

Is this happening on the '89 you have listed in your info?

If so you should only have rear wheel anti-lock...according to a Chiltons diagnostic flow chart I have,they say to hook up a TECH 1 or equivalent to check the codes..

OR you can jump the "A" and "H" pins of the ALDL connector under the dash to get the codes by reading the flashing brake light....any how here r the codes:

 

Code 2: open isolation solenoid or EBCM malfunction

Code 3: open dump solenoid or ECBM malfunction

Code 4: grounded anti-lock pressure valve rest switch

Code 5: excessive dump valve actuations during anti-lock stop

Code 6: erratic speed signal

Code 7: shorted isolation solenoid or ECBM malfunction

Code 8: shorted dump solenoid or ECBM malfunction

Code 9: open or grounded speed signal circuit

Code 10: stop lamp switch circuit

Codes 1, 11 and 12: invalid diagnostic trouble codes

Codes 13, 14 and 15: electric brake control module (ECBM) malfunction

 

You could also clear the codes by removing the "STOP/HAZARD" fuse for at least 5 sec. and see if it may reset...

I would also suggest that you get a repair manual to verify the above information for yourself, it would also detail the procedures for diagnosing the problem...the components of this system are REPLACE ONLY items, and I would hate for you to waste money if the diagnosis is incorrect and the problem comes back after replacing parts.....Hope this helps..GOOD LUCK :seeya:

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
