3800 ABS prob... need a TechII

[evastos]

Ok I'm experiencing some problems with my ABS and traction lights comming on. I've been reading on ClubGp that it might be a HUB. So I was wondering if anyone had a TechII around Chicago so I can pin point the problem?

How hard of a job is it?

Hub Assembly are not that hard to do a member here Ron Vogel replace mine. Probably can be done in a 1/2 hour or so but we ran into a small problem. Hub Assembly cost about $124.00 at AutoZone.

Theres two of them. Thats actually one of the problems that could occur. You could also have a faulty wire or a fuse. I'm checking out my fuse today I'll let you guys know.

Don't let it go too long if it's the hub. They get really hot when the bearings go. That "problem" Lee was reffering to was the case. It basically froze the axle to the hub, and took a few hours to get off. Normally a mallot can tap loose the assembly, I ended up trying a torch, air hammer, and eventually a 3 jaw puller with a breaker bar to get his removed. Normally, it's a 30 to 45 minute job.

I think I figured out what's wrong. I lifted the car up on the pasanger side and found that the conection to the HUB was loose. After a closer inspection I found it did'nt have a seal and there's abunch of dirt in the sensor. So I'm going to clean it out and buy a new gasket to put around it. Will see what happens.

I believe my Snap-on tool can scan ABS codes..

So if anyone wants their ABS codes scanned, let me know. I'll do it for free, Autozone style! h34r:
