Problem with my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix
Engine size = 3800
ABS occasionally
Front brakes were just installed by a GM dealer.
Tech = MW
question = I had the ABS warning light come on this past Monday. I
took it to a GM dealer to inspect/repair. According to the service
manager, the anti lock brake module needs to be replaced. The part listed
for $900 and since the car does have high miles, I would prefer to not
purchase this part. I did notice though that Monday it was raining and
extremely wet outside. Since that day, it has been dry and the light
has not come back on. Is there a way to possibly seal this module from
moisture and if so, how would I do it.
MW:
Although it may seem moisture is causing the problem, i have not seen this
be the case. Modules are sealed very well, and this should not cause
problems. Sealing a module that may be susceptible to moisture really wont
do any help. If moisture has gotten into the module, it is too late already.
Only thing that can possibly be sealed is to clean the connector terminals
and apply a thin layer silicone on the connector seal.

They have and can rebuild your module for MUCH less. Tell them we sent
you if you decide to go that route.

WARNING LIGHTS
Problem with my 1998 pontiac grand am
3.4
Why does my brake light and abs light come on
codes = rear abs channel will not move
work done prior = None
How found us = Google sorry about thew donation I'm broke
tech = any
question = I have no idea what this code means its driving me nuts what
is a channel and where is it in the abs? And why won't it move lol
thank you
JK:
Sounds like you are getting code C1246. This code refers to a condition where the Brake
Control Module (EBCM) cannot control the ABS channel to the rear brakes. This is usually
caused by an ABS motor pack problem, or a gear has come loose on the bottom of the
motor pack. Some diagnostics with a computer scan tools that can control the ABS system is
needed.
VISITOR:
Is a abs motor pack the same thing as a ABS module because they are
like $600-$1000. And I found one at a junk yard for $50 bucks? Thanks a
lot!!!!
JK:
The motor pack and the modulator assembly are 2 different parts. But at the junk yard, they
may still be bolted together and sold a unit.
