    My ABS light is on and the module is running. I went under the truck and dis connected the module wires. Now the traction control light stays on, as well as the ABS light. The part is very expensive, so I've been driving without ABS brakes and traction control. Is there a more cost effective fix.

    I have a 2001 Tahoe ABS and Brake light that comes on when it warms up, what could this be?

    same problem, after this winter in new england the abs brakes were utilized a few times. i dont know much about cars, now the abs light and brake light come on soemtimes.

    Just unplug the fuse, you'll maintain traction control and save your battery. If you replace the fuse, the Electro-Hydro-Cont-Unit will run and you will have ABS.

    Just remove the fuse. You can put it in when you go for a grive. Or get it fixxed.

I hope you have the problem fixed by now, but, it is the ABS control under the truck. You need to go under the hood and open the fuse box and disconnect the 60 amp fuse for the ABS, this will turn it off before it burns up. This however will also cause the traction assist off light to stay lit all the time. To the fix the problem you can pay tons of money ($700 or so) to have the dealership install a ABS control and the problem will happen again over time. Or, remove it yourself, go on ebay and ship it off to a guy who repairs them for about $150 and you will never have the problem again. Also, if you wrap your cable ends with plastic and protect them good, you can still drive you truck while the part is being worked on. It takes about a week.

Abs and brake light stay on in 2001 chevy tahoe

Seems the most likely is the control module, but could be affected by bad grounds or possibly a wheel speed sensor.
Read this thread, about 3 pages long, and has info and links for the control module fix and where to check the grounds.

On a 2004 chevy tahoe instrument cluster,the parking brake light is red. Is that due to the overlay or a red bulb.

Possibly the ABS unit, look in your owners manual for the ABS fuse (it's under the hood) unplug it with the key on, shut off key and replug, if the light go's out drive it, the light will probably come back if it does you need a ABS control unit.

What is the C0265 error code

The ABS EBCM anti-lock brake module is failing causing problems with the ABS pump running constantly, also will drain your battery.
  1. Remove the ABS fuse to prevent ABS motor burn out.
  2. You can still drive your vehicle with the module removed.
  3. We recommend covering the exposed surface of the hydraulic control unit with aluminum foil to keep out water and dirt.
Common Failures:
  • ABS Pump Always Running
  • Codes: C0265, C0267, C0268
  • Pump Motor Circuit trouble code
  • Power Relay trouble code
  • Valve Relay Trouble code
  • Dump Valves (solenoids) trouble codes
  • No Communication
  • Intermediate power loss

2001 chevy venture van the brake pedal is soft and it goes down to the floor is it the m/c or the abs unit

The symptom you have is caused by a defective Master cylinder. Bench bleed the master before installing to keep air out of the ABS hydraulic control unit, if air gets in the unit the car will need to bleed of air using a special tool at the dealer. Do not get brake fluid on any painted surfaces or in your eyes, use proper safety gear. Only use special tubing Flare nut wrenches on the brake line fittings or you will round them off. Making up new lines is a whole other thing that requires special skills and tools.

I have a 2001 gmc sonoma 4.3 replace brake lines on back i am not getting any fluid to rear wheels i tryed bleeding sys with help diconected abs sys to reset to defalt no abs light is on stumped

a special tool is required to hold the ABS hydraulic control unit popit valves open during bleeding of the brakes, without this special tool you will not be able to get the air out of the system, most good brake shops have this tool or of course the local Chevy dealer or GMC dealer. I am a dealer tech and know this information is correct..

Anti lock brake pump always running and noisy

If the ABS pump continues to run, the most common cause is a leak in the hydraulic control unit. The pump may continue to run in order to to try to maintain operating pressure. Also a malfunction in the pump, stuck valves and devective accumulators are possible causes. A shorted pressure switch may also cause this condition.
