ABS Issues Please HELP! Where I'm lost is the Electronic Brake Control Module. The lights are ABS INOP, BRAKE, ACS OFF.
THIS IS INTERMITTENT, SOMETIMES I DONT GET ANY CODES (which is rare). WHEN THE LIGHTS DONT COME ON I KNOW IT'S WORKING, WHEN i STOMP ON IT THE COMPUTER OVERRIDES MY CONTROL AND REDUCES POWER TO THE SLIPPING WHEEL. WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, NO COMPENSATION VIA COMPUTER.
I know the EBCM has been replace once before and failed about 1.5 years later.
ANY SUGGESTIONS??
I will be pulling off the wheels now and cleaning up the wheel sensors as well as replacing the lower b-joints in a few minutes. I'll be checking in periodically.

Yes, definitely try cleaning them off. I tend to think in worst case scenarios so I immediately started pricing out ABS modules and all that jazz when my dash started giving me all those lights. I tried cleaning off the metallic fuzz on my sensors and the problem was solved. Let us know what happens!

I just replaced the upper and lower b-joints on Wednesday. I noticed the wheel sensor socket was cracked and didn't allow a proper (solid) connection as did the passenger side. The plug it self was clean and free of contaminants, however i fear that this is the issue. Not a tough fix but I was actually hoping for a pinched wire that was blatently obvious! LOL.
I will replace the spindle and let you guys/GIRLS know what happens. Thanks for the posts!!
