Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slipReported September 13, 1996 · 580 vehicles affected
What is wrong
The wiring from the electronic control unit was connected to the wrong wheel sensor or to the wrong brake modulator valve. It is possible that either or both wiring may have occurred at either the front or rear axle or both axles.
Risk
Should the anti-lock braking system (ABS) wiring be crossed, it would result in a significant degradation in vehicle stopping distance. A signal would be sent to the wrong brake chamber when a brake imbalance is detected. This condition increases the risk of a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the ABS wiring and, if necessary, properly connect.
