This is a common issue when all the warning lights come on. Easily done at home with simple tools and at a fraction of the price and 20 minutes of your time.

Had traction control, ABS, Air Bag lights coming up as well as thermo fans always running and air con not working. Done some research here and changed ABS unit with same type. All fault lights have cleared but thermo fans are still always running and air con still not working. Do I need to reset any faults with a scanner?

Hi Zig great video which shows what to do, so thanks for taking the time to upload for I guess a lot of battlers that can't afford a new car every few years. One thing i noticed on my LS1 Statesman is that the steering got very heavy, like i thought i had a flat tyre, the trip computer lost all functions eg instant fuel,av fuel. Lost AC, car was saying i was driving in Park, temp gauge stopped working, cruise control stopped along with the warning lights in your video with the oil pan light and the X in the corner of the climate control. Not all of these happen at the same time, sometimes the temp gauge will work and the cruise control will work for a short time but it's a hodge podge of lights, but always the abs light goes first, then shortly after traction, low traction, and airbag, and sometimes the oil pan light. Some how it disables the power steering totally, or at least to a big degree. I should also note that it's random at the moment, but lately it's been happening at least once every time i drive it. You can actually feel it in the car driving down the freeway when the lights turn off and you regain all functions once again. Hope to fix it soon. Cheers

Is there any way to get rid of the ABS altogether? I don't need it at all and would rather it wasn't there. Plus here in NZ they are approx $200 -$400 or more and I can't be farkd spending that sort of coin on stupid things like ABS modules. My 66 Chevy has no ABS and I can stop it moving just fine.

Unfortunately no but if you pull the ABS fuse it will revert to normal braking but the ABS light will be on.

@ziggassedup7 жыл бұрын
Here's the funny thing Tom...Out of all the Holdens the Ecotec has many problems as time goes on but if they are serviced regularly they would go on forever..Yes inlet gaskets go after time (Same car is booked in for that too) and the odd oil leak here and there but all in all a pretty good engine..The Alloytec is a different kettle of fish...Thermostat housing at the back of the valley and just a turd of an engine with a very short lifespan depending on how they are treated and a shit to work on...Just my opinion..Cheers mate.
@shoominati237 жыл бұрын
Yea especially if they went long distances between oil changes or the owner used the cheapest supercrap oil they could find in them kills those Alloytecs. Many of them were fleet and govt. vehicles so they were either serviced at ultratune or dodgy oil change places using those 44 gal drums of the cheap valvoline 'fleet' oil, thing is the alloytech is a DOHC engine and doesn't like abuse like the old buick iron block v6s could handle. I'm loving the 4G15 little 1.5 in my 02 lancer though. Runs like a swiss watch, quiet and literally sips fuel, I reckon I'd get almost 2 weeks out of a tank easy. And I only got it because it's a manual and it is pretty fun zipping around the backstreets.
