ABS and Antilock brake light, low traction,

Post by windshield_time »

All,

The 03, when I start it, it comes on with the abs light, after about 15 miles of driving I get the antilock brake light. When braking slowly I get a low traction light.

Now here is the kicker, when scanned, autozone, it doesn't show any codes, I drove by advanced and they didn't find the code either.

Any Ideas ???

Anybody near me with a Tech 2, and would that find the problem.

Information you may need is I had really really bad brakes when this all happened. I just changed them, but this shouldn't have anything to do with the ABS light. and battery cables are all clean and good.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I've been to jail in 12 different states ! ;)

You'll need a Tech 2 to get the ABS system codes.

A Tech II or a snapon will read the ABS Codes...

Sounds a bit like a bad hub assembly...

I have all of the lights on, but we had it scanned for codes and my ABS Pump has failed...
