The ABS light came on in my Camaro and I was wondering if there is a way to read what set it off? I know in Fords it's a major PITA to diagnose the ABS problems, but I was wondering if Chevy's are any easier? I pulled the 3 ABS fuses and checked those and I disconnected the battery for a minute to see if it would reset but had no luck. Any ideas or am I **** outta luck until I can have a mechanic look at it? Dammit, Chevy's are like women....expensive, high maintenance and you can't figure them out!

BTW the car does have line lock so I was wondering if that could affect the ABS at all.

 

were you using the line lock ? when the rear wheel speed exceedes the front wheels by to much itll trip a light just have to drive it a bit to go out.

second- check the sensors connectors and make sure there still hooked up

thats a starting point

 

I know on my 12 bolt for some reason the 4:11's set the light off when I am on the highway for alittle while. No biggie as long as it goes away next time you start the car

 

like he said. how long have u had the line lock on for? was it just installed? if so u might also have some air in the system. im sure there is someone on this board that lives around u that has a scanner that can read the codes to make sure its nothing to bad. good luck

 

Stangman, it could be the line lock like Keith said. I sent you an e-mail. You may want to pull the code.

 

I thought the same thing so I figured I would check it after my 42 mile ride to work and it's still on. Dunno, Sounds like there may be a code reader for the ABS though?

 

Thanks for the advice guys....I hadn't even tried the linelock on the car so I don't think that may be it, but it's always worth a shot. Maybe I can swing by Don's tomorrow and have him read the code if he has time.

 

Did you shut the car off then start it again and wait a minute or two to see if it shuts off?

 

Whatever you do, be safe.

 

Thanks Joe......


I shut the car off and let it be for a few minutes then went back to it. I also disconnected the fuses and the battery for a few minutes.

 

I can't read those codes. Probly know what happened though.You did a nice long burnout with wheel hop and it vibrated the wires on the rear which probly loosened the ABS wiring harness.

 

Nope I have only done 1 shot and that was last week. I basically just started the car and headed to work this morning after getting gas. Nothing unusual done at all......damn so no reader for this? Please don't tell me it's a dealership only fix!

 

check the connections first before you get yourself to worked up

 

I'll check them out when I get out of work. Thanks for all the advice guys. I looked under the car really quick before I posted this to check for any random loose wiring and didn't see any, but then again it's never THAT easy.

 

could also just pull the abs sensors out it's a 8mm or something and clean the magnet. more then likely something easy

 

Good idea.....I will have to do that. Figure I'll try and cover all angles before I blow some big money? Anyone local have a driveway I could use? Doing this on Bedford St. in Fall River could be hazardous to my health!

 

It's a 12 bolt so more than likely the wires going to the 12 bolt got disconnected.No big deal. You must be use to this--you did own a Stang

 

might be a long shot but the third break lights working?

 

3rd brake light? what's that have to do with the ABS? Sorry if that's a stupid question.

BTW Don......my Ford never broke!


New owner tore it up pretty nice though!

 

i know on the lt1 cars if the third brake light goes out it trigers the abs light, dont know why it would but i does. i dont know if the ls1's are the same but it might be worth a shot
