ABS Light Came On?

Ya can easily read the codes yourself in just a few minutes. Read 'em and write 'em down, then erase 'em and see if they show up again.

My ABS light goes on and off a lot. The check on the TOD does not however. Typically, in the morning, my ABS light will be off for a while and then it will come on and stay on most of the day...its annoying but so far I have had no ill effects....

ME too. Typically if I ever park on a curb or uneven surface it always makes the ABS light stay on. I have gotten so used to it coming on and going off I don't even worry with it. I am just going to take the bulb out when I get it back.

Hi,

My ABS light has been coming on intermittedly for the last week. I took it in today to find out why and they are advising that the ABS modulator valve is fried. This is a $2900 part. They said that what this means is that I won't have anti-lock brakes but there are some very rare instances of complete brake failure (will happen suddenly, not gradually).

Does this sound reasonable to y'all? And does anyone know if I can get (or if it's even advisable) a reburbished part for this that would be less $?

thx j

this happened to mine at the beginning of winter.. been driving without ABS with no problems, my brakes feel strong as ever, anita told me shes been without abs longer than that without any trouble, never heard of the sudden failure before

I picked up an abs module with 50k miles on it for 100 bucks.. even if it doesnt work.. i still have 28 tries left before i equal the dealership price

you could try flushing out the brake system completely and then next time you start the vx and the abs light is out, hurry to somewhere with gravel or dirt and do a few hard stops to engage the abs, could just have started to go because of not being used

Where did you get the abs module? Mine seems to be out and I'm not paying $2900 for one!
