What is the problem whenever the traction light on,gear wont change its will stays at low gear?

[@navyphyrfitr6550]

First thing i do when i buy a vehicle is pull the fuses on the Damn system, im an old school Driver and was taught to drive on cars without ABS, its better to use your brakes when in an out of control skid on ice or snow, the trick is knowing how to perform it, I DO.

[@farmerjbird]

Thats what I did when my brakes wouldn't work right one day when I about ran into the front of a local store just trying to park in front of it. Fuse pulled, problem solved😉

[@MsRican143]

So you saying if I pull the fuse, my breaks will still work??

[@SajSajidmk]

Yes, only if U pull out right fuse of abs & not braking Fuse 😊​@@MsRican143

Leaking complete module also….brake fluid everywhere.

[@brunobeche9773]

Hello What are the use of the two circle in black under the bottom of the ABS block. Is this the safety valve? Does it leak? Why a leakeage permitted and when? Will the whole part need replacement if there is an oil leak?

[@giberish9]

I got the rear brakes looking up effortlessly, but no pressure to the front. No abs light either. 97 buick lesabre

[@sandym8787]

Well it would have been nice to fix it - but local Jeep dealer jerked me around for over a month - telling me they can't get the part . Called another Jeep dealer 45 minutes away - they refuse to help me , and this is with a lifetime repair policy I bought . Love my Jeep . hate the company and the local dealers ..

[@cmlfarr]

I've had sooooo many problems with ABS and I now kow what ABS stands for...it's: All Bull Shit!

2004 Chevy Malibu max . Brake petal extra play at start up but with in 2 miles driving time abs light comes on shortly after that car becomes hard to keep moving like brakes are slowly being applied and the petal becomes hard and if driven long enough car will not move at all.. any thoughts ???

[@zoeyrollo7665]

My 2005 Malibu maxx is doing the same. Did you find the problem?

[@mwngw]

Suppose no ABS codes are thrown, but Traction control is lit, and vehicle is put into limp mode? Reseat gas cap, or light clears and limp mode clears spontaneously? No codes when scanned. Makes no sense.

[@Blackdog57]

I have new rotors, new pads, new caliper on drivers side, but the piston inside the caliper drags when I release the brake pedal, what could this be? 🤔

[@GordonDrake-m5t]

I have e similar issues, have you found out what the problem was.

[@Blackdog57]

@user-ri7wn2ff6c not yet, mechanic checked it up and down, said may be hydraulic brake module. I think it might be brake fluid not leaving caliper going back up in line.🙏

[@terryken12]

Could be a bad brake line, I just found this on my 2004 silverado, the fluid wouldn't return because the inside of the line was swollen shut.

[@Blackdog57]

@terryken12 maybe, my mechanic should have thought of that. I think k fluid not going back up line, but idk, taking it to Midas at tax season.🙏

[@terryken12]

@@Blackdog57 I am a mechanic and it took me a bit to discover, I installed a new caliper and it wouldn't bleed leading me to the line.

[@bobmanp8653]

I got pulsing brakes and i just put new rotors and pads on

[@Michaelc3094]

Check that you plugged back in the abs sensors or check if there are any wiring problems in the sensor itself

[@michaelfishman7174]

COMPARED TO THE OTHER CARS THAT I HAD FROM THE 1980s I THINK THE ABS SYSTEM IS CRAP. IT MAKES CARS MORE COMPLICATED AND MORE DANGEROUS.

[@TDHofstetter]

Symptom #1: does it exist? If it does, then it's bad. There are no good ABS modules. ABS was a hideous mistake. As everyone would know if they had only asked me.

[@azadmuzaffar]

I agree with you one 100%. I’ve all the lights coming up and going away while some like ABS and Power steering are constant. The surprising thing is that I’ve no issue driving my Honda Civic. I don’t want to go to dealership for the fear of big bill. Since there is no problem in driving I think, may be there are fuse issue. I’m seriously thinking to replace fuse and see what happens. ABS seems like really All bull Shit. For such frequent problem with module, the car companies should issue recall to save the car owners from continuous pain.

[@joeyserrano2130]

@@azadmuzaffar I just had this prolblem i was coming home the my 2013 Jeep Wrangler JK didn't want to move my ABS light and the Tracking control light come on I turn the engine off and started it back up and got it home I took the ABS fuse out of it and it runs good went to AutoZone scan it and it says the right rear sensor fail so I still drive it with the fuse out until I can get I fix cant stand ABS

[@azadmuzaffar]

⁠@@joeyserrano2130do auto AutoZone have the facility to scan any car for faults. I buy parts from them but never thought that they check the cars issues too. It must be cheaper then dealership?

[@ericraherimanjato9688]

Great video thank you

[@ColinTitley-bn6en]

Abs the worst gadget for cars more trouble than they are worth when they are working ok brilliant but when they go wrong they are a pain to put right.i know people who have gone back to the garage Quite a few times before its repaired

[@jstephensoneyeOpen]

What is the problem when the brakes usually work ...but after driving a while, break goes to the floor and hard to stop?

[@brotherjoll1802]

Joe rogan schooling me on ABS modules is crazy

[@DilanHub]

Good Work
