Anti-lock brakes are designed to prevent skidding and help drivers maintain
steering control during an emergency stopping situation. In cars equipped with
conventional brakes, the driver pumps the brakes, whereas in cars equipped with
four-wheel ABS, the driver keeps a firm foot on the brake allowing the system to
rapidly and automatically pump the brakes. Because the wheels don't lock up,
drivers have the ability to steer around hazards if they are unable to stop in time.

2001 Olds Aurora with c 1245 ABS channel/low tire pressure/mstr sensor.
Code C1245 is a problem in the Tire Pressure Monitor
system (TPM) Really not a problem with the ABS. Most
likely a tire pressure sensor faulty.

how do i bleed my abs brakes.
That depends on what type of vehicle this is and are
you bleeding brakes that also have ABS, or do you
need to bleed the ABS unit?

I have a 1997 GMC Sierra which needs 2 of the ABS sensors changed and I don't know where
there located and how to change them.
The front wheel speed sensors bolt into the front
hubs. On the top. 1 bolt. Just follow the harness to it.
Before replacement, make sure the harnesses do
not have broken wires inside the insulation. Also, the
hub could be bad causing the ABS problem.

My 1999 Chevy Silverado ABS and brake warning lights come on after driving a little while
intermittently. I have been told it may be a bad electrical connector but it all checks out ok by the
mechanics What could be the problem?
The common electrical problem is a broken wire to
one of the front speed sensors. They can be hard to
find. The black plastic insulation ,must be cut to
inspect the wires. But you need to get the codes
scanned before just cutting open wires without
knowing shat part of the ABS system has the
problem. It could also be a sensor.

1994 F-150, the abs light is staying on, with this the transmission is shifting very hard, also the
speedometer is fluttering up and down, what has to be done to correct this problem?
Most likely all these problems on your Ford are
caused by the speedometer problem. The computer
looks at vehicle speed to determine shift points and
patterns, as well as for ABS operation. Look at a
possible seed sensor or wiring. It is located on the
back of the transmission.

2000 BUICK CENTURY WITH CODE C 1214. WHERE IS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE RELAY?
Believe it or not the relay you are talking about is
internal to the electronic brake control
module(EBCM). It is not replaceable separately. If
you're sure that is the problem you have to replace
the module. But I suggest diagnosing it properly
because that is an expensive guess.

I have a BO265 on a 2004 S-10.  What does it mean?
That's not a valid trouble code. Are you sure you got
it right? The only codes that have 265 in it is a
'C0265'. That code is for the ABS system, and
means there is a failure or problem with the
Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). Usually it
has to do with the internal relay inside the EBCM,
which is not serviceable. The EBCM has to be
replaced as a unit.

reset it or might there be another problem?

Did the new wheel bearing hubs come with speed sensors? If not, did you swap them over?
Maybe you damaged one, or a wiring to one. Maybe cheap parts!

i have a 2002 chevy S-10 just had brakes and rotors changed all around but after i put approx
15 miles on it my abs and brakes lights come on and under 40 mph my speedometer flutters.
The ABS light could be caused by a problem in the
regular brakes or vice-versa. Check brake fluid level
first. The speedometer jumping could be the cause
of all your problems. Check the wiring to the vehicle
speed sensor on the back of the transmission.
