Default ASR OFF and ABS INOP

I have read almost everything on the issue, but most if not all is in regards to having "1)Brake 2)ABS INOP 3)ASR OFF" lights all on together.

I had this issue where all three were on, had it read and low and behold ECBM failure.

I bought a used one off a low mile 01 z28 with traction control( I have a 01 SS with traction control) Anyways the replacement worked, no lights fully functional abs and asr.


well i took a right turn quickly and two of the three came on 1)ABS INOP 2)ASR OFF.

I got home disconnected the battery, took out the abs fuses etc.. let it sit for 20 or 30 mins and reconnected everyting and they were off. A couple days later i took another turn quickly and they came back on and have been on since.

My buddy that works at firestone that scans my abs for free is out of town so i cant get it scanned right now.

ive checked the grounds, i cleaned and tighted the speed sensors in the rear wheels.

what all can i check because this only has occured after turning at fast speeds.




could it be any of the following:
low tire pressure throwing the speed sensors off
bad abs fluid(I havent changed it in over 5 years)
the passenger speed sensor wiring since it has like an extension it plugs into?


i will check anything you guys can point me to because im stumped

Do you have the stock wheels?

Have you checked all for wheel tire pressures?

What did you do to your old ECBM?

Do you still have it?

I want to see if I can fix them.

Did you figure it out?? I'm having the same problem. I Already did the basics. Is there a way to test the abs/wheel speed sensors? They're kinda salty to just buy w/o testing them for a shot in the dark.

Get someone with a good scanner they can watch all the speed sensors while driving and try to duplicate the prob

All you guys with ABS/ASR/TCS Dash lights on, get your car scanned first and post your code(s) -- it will make figuring out issues that much simpler! Advance Auto scans ABS for free!

For this to be happening when it would turn off then on then off... It sounds like a bad connection somewhere, right?

ok this has been a 2 year problem...but i have only recently tried to really get to the bottom of it.

First I had all three of the lights on, I replaced the damaged pigtail on the front passenger speed sensor...no luck

Second I got it scanned and the code c0550 came up, so i replaced the ABS brain. The lights went off for a couple days then came on.

Then they came back on and i got it rescanned and this time it was a c0110 and I replaced the pump portion of the ABS.... the lights went off and everything was functional...but they turned back on after a day...


I cant get it rescanned as my buddy with the scanner is out of town for the next month and im not trying to pay $50+ to get a code so im really trying to think of anything else....

I have a multimeter, could i use that to test the sensors?

^ Stop making excuses and go get your ABS codes scanned for FREE! As mentioned before... I guess you can lead a horse to water...

I was unaware that Advanced auto had scanners capable of reading brake codes... I mean i know they scanned but i thought it would be for just the engine stuff.

I could be your wheel speed sensors in the rear, take them out and clean them really good. If that doesn't fix it then they will need to be replaced. I had the same problem.

Seriously? I have an issue in my DD. My understanding was unlike OBD codes, ABS/TCS systems aren't really standardized yet, so there isn't a common protocol. As such, it's kind of a pain to have them read.

If Advance can do this, I'd be thrilled!
