AUTOGUY Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Just had the SS out for the first time in 3-4 months. As I am driving, the ABS light comes on. I stop the truck and have the key out, and I hear a loud buzzing noise coming from under the truck. It is under the driver side floor inside the framerail. It looks like a module that has something to do with the ABS system because there are brake lines running to it. The truck only has 12K miles on it. Anyone have this happen? I parked the truck and disconnected the battery and the buzzing stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I think that is a brake proportioning valve of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Actually it is the ABS module. I talked to a friend that is a Tech at a Chevy Dealer. He told me it sounds like a relay sticking and they sometimes do that. You cannont fix it. He said it is about $400.00 to replace. My truck only has 12,000 miles, but is out of warranty because it is 5 years old. He said I can unplug it and drive the truck. I will just not have ABS.

AUTOGUY Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I do not have a scan tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I do not have a scan tool. Brian,...I am 20 minutes away if you ever need anything scanned. ABS brakes are overrated, I was (and still am) considering removing all of the ABS stuff. There are companies that make conversion kits for real cheap. Then it is just a matter of deleting the codes in the PCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superredss Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 My ABS light came on a while back, I posted a thread somewhere in here, but I never heard any noise or anything. I ran the code and cleared it and it never came back on. Dont remember what the problem was. Good luck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTOGUY Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 That is exactly what my buddy said. He said it is common. It just sucks that the truck only has 12K miles, but the warranty is shit. I should look into buying an extended warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
