Braking trouble...

Postby maxwgn » Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:24 am

Posted the basic concept prior, and got no help - well, now that we're having cold weather, and my girlfriend is transporting her kids, it's a major concern.

The ABS system is self activating while driving foward, applying the brakes. This only happens when it cold and/or wet outside. The pavement is NOT slick, and there is no traction issue, but the brakes apply, non-the-less, and when this happens, the VDC light in cluster lights, and the vdc button does nothing...

Now, this is a major issue we need to get fixed - so i can properly TS the issue, how do I pull codes for the ABS/VDC system?

I need feedback ASAP!

I don't know squat about ABS. However, there is a 2006 factory service manual available at the top of this forum. There may be some good info in there.

You'll need an OBDII code scanner. Some can only read powertrain and emissions codes, so check before you buy or borrow.
