ABS light

madme · 01-06-2006, 10:37 PM

hello everyone my friend just bought a 95 Jimmy and has a realy odd problem. when she starts to accelerat and hits around 15mph the ABS light comes on, but when she starts to hit the breaks the light goes out, and once again hits about 15mph it comes back on. i'm guessing its a hub sencor or something gone but would like to get your oppinion. thxs in advance.

could it be the wheel baring? when the wheel bearing went in my 96 s10 that happened...the sensor thought the wheel wasnt moving or something because the bearing wasnt spinning...

yea i had a feeling it was going to be something like that

uhm, you have a 95...so that shouldnt be bad...i dont thhink you have the slealed bearing like i do...mine are like 300$ a piece from gm, and gm wont let anyone sell an aftermarket version of them :-\ so i get mine from a junk yard

here's the odd thing now, her truck now does not have a the light on at all and the brakes (ABS) work just fine i can't figure out why there was a little mess up with things

sensor maybe dirty...loose wires...could be a number of things dealing with either the wheelbearings or the sensor...i THINK, you can correct me if im wrong but it has the 3 sensor, one on the drive at the back of the trans, and one on each front wheel, check the wires and what not

yeah hes right theres 3 sensors. jack the truck up and grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 o clock positiins and rock back and forth. if tehres play, you need new bearings. it also helps to have another person there to see if the bearing moves ehind the wheel too.

ok thxs for all the info i'l go out and check those out as soon as i get some time

it takes 5 minutes to check outer wheel bearings in the front, pop off the center caps, then the cover and look...the in bearings you have to remove the assembly...i changed the front wheel bearings at a house i was building on the 96 s10 work truck i have...about 30minutes...
