Re: Brakes??

it may also be a blown wheel cylender or caliper. There is a pressure switch in your proportioning valve that can also go if the O rings are shot.

Re: Brakes??

mine has been on forever and i finally stopped caring. I mean i looked and looked and looked and i could not find anything wrong. Even took it to Les Schwab and got a shrug! My abs light comes on with it. and you know if the abs light is on you can narrow it down to 6 or 7 dozen things!
