Re: 2001 chevy silverado ABS problem

There is a tsb out for cleaning corrosion off of the knuckle at the mount point for the wheel speed sensor. Rust builds up underneath the mount point forcing the sensor farther away from the reluctor wheel, creating too much air gap, which in turn changes the amplitude of the signal being recieved by the ebcm. The ebcm reads this as wheel speed difference and applies abs to correct a slippage problem that isn't really there. If possible it would still be a good idea to have someone who knows what to look for hook up a scan tool to make sure that is the problem .
