ABS fault codes found

I went to the dealer to scan for ABS codes and they found the following:

RF WSS at 0 ohms

RF and LF solenoid circuit open

Rear exapansion spring brake will not hold motor

Rear ABS motor free spin

 

They quoted me $1625 just in parts to fix these problems. Anyone else thinks this is way too much. The first 2 seem like just a bad connection. How easy or hard will it be to repair these problems once I find the parts at a decent price?

 

Thanks

1st one is more than likely a bad WSS, which requires replacing the hub assembly

 

The rest will pretty much be the ABS module/pump assembly which is an expensive part..

 

Pull the ABS fuse and the idiot light if you want and dont worry about the ABS system.. The early ABS systems didnt work worth a damn anyway

thats on the rears. the fronts have sensors which go though the hub, and can be replaced separately.

I just found a speed sensor for $43 and a motor/pump for $267 on parts4chevys. So the hub assy has to be replace for the SS? I'm trying to decide if it's really worth it.

Oh yeah, I forgot the gen 1's could be replaced up front :lol:

 

And no, its not worth the money.. Full the ABS fuse, and remove the cluster and remove the ABS light. Problem solved.

on my cutlass i went almost 4 years without abs but i replaced the 2 dront sensors. (not the bearings) for the same top codes, and i reset the system and it works perfect. But there is other options also though. i just like things perfect lol :mrgreen:

How did you reset the system?

The proper way??? Using a Tech 2 scan tool...

 

The somewhat proper way??? Undo the battery for a bit, hook it up, turn the ignition on, you should hear to 2 major ABS solenoids click really loud, and start it and drive..
