Car Forum / GMC Cars / November 2006That annoying ABS light
Why would the ABS light on a newish Impala come on after the car has been sitting practically unused for five months? It hasn't seen real road driving in that time, but recently has been driven around the driveway to move it around to make space for other cars. I guess any links to ABS light diagnosis resources would be most helpful. ~Jody > Why would the ABS light on a newish Impala come on after the car has > been sitting practically unused for five months?

Unfortunately, some cars break if you don't use them too. Have the ABS codes checked, without knowing the code, no one can tell you anything. ;) Well, the people who know can't tell you anything, you'll get a lot of "replace this" and "replace that", but don't fall for it.

Sitting that long rust could have formed on a sensor. Mouse chewed the wiring to the ABS module.  SignatureSteve W. Near Cooperstown, New York Start the car. crawl under it and wiggle the plug where it enters the hub on all wheels and have somebody looking at the dash at the same time. If that doesn't cure it then pull the plugs and clean contacts and try. Good luck. >Why would the ABS light on a newish Impala come on after the car has >been sitting practically unused for five months?

See my first post Shep. People want this guy to do a bunch of things, wasting time, when a quick trip to a local mechanic/AutoZone could tell him EXACTLY where to start looking. Read codes, reset, test drive, read codes, diagnose, repair. Piece of cake. Steve |
