ISSUE
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) may activate under false ABS conditions. The customer may notice a "grinding," "whining," "pulsing," or
"fluttering" at the brake pedal at speeds below 19 km/h (12 mph). The ABS lamp may also illuminate and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) 1145, 1155,
1230, 1233, 1234, and/or 1237 may be stored in memory. This may be caused by corrosion at the ABS sensor connectors, a damaged sensor wire due to
a faulty crimp, or damage to the ABS sensor indicator.
ACTION
Diagnose and repair the vehicle by referring to the following Anti-lock False Activation Diagnosis And Service Procedure for details.
NOTE
ABS FALSE ACTIVATION CONCERNS CAN OCCUR ON THESE VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE ABS LAMP IS
ILLUMINATED OR NOT, OR IF DTCs ARE SET OR NOT.
