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. The ABS lamp may also illuminate and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) 1095, 1145, 1155, 1165, 1175, 1233, 1234,
1235, and/or 1236 may be stored in memory. This may be caused by corrosion at the ABS sensor connectors.
ACTION
Replace the wiring connectors at the ABS sensors. The new terminals should reduce the possibility of corrosion and false activation of the ABS
system. Refer to the following 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.
