"service ABS light comes on intermittently...disabling air bags!
Same problem as found in the federal safety agency id # 05v37900 in 2002 chevy avalanche is occurring in my 2003 chevy avalanche. The ABS is activated when reaching a speed of 5 MPH or less. This is causing my avalanche to not stop immediately at stop signs or red lights. My avalanche will travel approximately 2 to 3 feet closer to the car or intersection I am stopping at. If I roll through the stop sign or not go below 5 MPH while turning, the ABS do not come on.
Service brake system light comes on in information center, brake and ABS lights are on. The garage says the brake computer for the ABS is not functions disabling the ABS on the vehicle. The computer part for the vehicle is unavailable. The ABS brake system remains disabled. It is a 2003 model year vehicle. Brake parts should be available for the ABS system.
Abs pump motor will not shut off due to a failed electronic brake control module. Abs fuse must be removed to keep motor from burning up. Abs system is disabled. I am trying to find an affordable way to repair the problem. New factory part is to expensive. Must use vehicle with faulty ABS system until repaired.
Dt*: the contact stated the outer hub bearing became defective causing the inner hub bearing to become defective. While driving, the ABS light illuminated. Shortly after that something flew off the vehicle, and the tire and rim caught on fire. The dealer determine the cause of the fire was a defective hub bearing.
