ABS Light On Cutlass Supreme 94 2dr

Here I am again with another question jajaja. I have the ABS light on since I bought the car about 6 months ago. I haven´t worried about it because the car runs fine and the brakes work. Since I´ve never had a car with ABS I can´t tell the diffrence. I know that the last owner change an ABS sensor and some kind of relay because he give me the old ones. What can I do to check if the ABS is working (and live to tell jajajaja). Some time ago I read that if you change something in the ABS system, the alarm would be there until you cleaned up. Do I have to connect the car to som kind of tester? Thanks a lot!!!

if the light is on, that means the ABS module has detected some kind of fault and is disabling the ABS function, so all you will have are normal power-assisted brakes.

 

considering your location, i'm kind of doubtful that anybody near you will have a scanner capable of reading out which trouble code the ABS module has set. if you have a somwhat recent laptop with windows XP SP3 or vista or 7 and a spare USB port, you can buy or make an ALDL cable and can scan it yourself(and maybe deal with some other local GM 1995 and earlier cars for some profit :D).

quite a few places with varying levels of quality and cost. shipping to your location may or may not be a deciding factor as well.

 

i build cables, but it would probably be a few weeks before i could even send one your way.

 

www.aldlcable.com is where i got my first cable, worked ok for 18 months or so, then it basically quit working altogether, so i cut the male OBD1 connector off of it and used it on a cable i built myself. still functional and used almost daily.

 

www.moates.net has a 2 piece cable, really nice quality, kind of expensive compared to other solutions.

 

http://www.reddevilriver.com/aldl.html i've only seen a few people run this one, no complaints that i know of.

 

there are a few on ebay, they seem to mostly be the red devil river units.

 

there may be more, but those are the most well-known places that i can think of.

Well if you can build them I´ll buy you one!!! I´m not in a hurry so if you can build them I´d rather buy you one from you than those you tell me.
