For all with ABS module problems

[silverado man]

Click here for a thread about the fix for the ABS module problem.  It seems all you need to do is clean it off.  I don't have this problem but thought I'd share with the rest of you guys.  http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forum....d=25318

Yeah, I bet that doesn't work for 99+ trucks either.

Thanks for that link, silverado man - I didn't know about that info when I had the problem.  

 

I agree w/ gnat - don't think that would solve the pump running issue though.

Im not sure if I have a module problem or not but what mine does is I can feel in the brake pedal that the abs is activated coming to a complete stop and I can here it pulsating. Mine is a 2000 Silverado with 36K. Almost every time I come to a stop abs activates especially when turning into a parking space or coming to a stop on a hill facing downward. The light does not come on in the dash though. At about 20K dealership replaced rear rotors & pads. Its out of warrenty now so any suggestions on what I can do or check would really help me.

If you are still close to the 36K mileage mark, take it in immediately and whine a little    to service - maybe they will do it for you under warranty.  If they determine that it's the module, then you're looking @ about $950 list, otherwise.   :angry:

 

My module ran on after the key was shut off, and I opened the door - had to remove the fuse to stop it - so I know it was the module.  Could be a crapped up sensor on yours, I suppose.

 

Never hurts to ask for a little help, if you have a pretty good relationship w/ the dealer.  

 

Good luck and let us know how it turned out.

The ABS goes haywire when I  am braking hard on a rough road. I have learned to live with it and it does'nt happen that often.

What tires do you have?  Mine did that all the time with the stock firestones.  After changing them to the bfgs i have only had it happen once or twice.  It made a huge improvement

I have 265's on now. Will probably go with 285's in a month or so.

[RyanbabZ71]

I dont think id use them as tire swings
