Problem with my 2001 chevy venture
ABS
GM Computer codes = no
tip/donation yes
GM tech = jk
question = Why does my ABS light comes on and stays on is it safe to keep
driving like this ?
JK:
The ABS light can come on for several reasons. A few common causes are that
one of the ABS speed sensors has failed. The sensor is part of the wheel hub
bearing.
Or possibly the harness going to the sensor has a bad wire or water intrusion.
It is safe to drive. When the ABS light comes on, the computer disables anti-lock
operation, but normal braking system is not affected.
See more ABS information.

Problem with my 2001 chevy venture van

question = Why does my driver side turn signal works fine when the brake is NOT
applied. As soon as brake is applied, turn signal flashes very fast.
Also related, when cruise control is on and as soon as you turn on the
driver side turn signal it turns the cruise control off.
Also related, when in reverse, the driver side turn signal does not
work at all.
Tried replacing the bulbs and didn't work. Autozone suggested replacing
the Brake light Switch.
Answer: As long as all of the bulbs that were replaced were the proper type, then this sounds
like a problem in the drivers side rear lamp circuit board assembly. Sometimes the connector
gets corroded, or the board shorts out internally, causing all kinds of odd lighting problems,
shorting out, open circuits, back feeding. Try swapping the entire assembly with the
passenger side, and see if the problems follow. If they do, then you have a problem in that
circuit board.
