fuse light sensor wheel 1999 chevy

Sent to Car Experts September 17, 2005 5:02 p.m.

I have a 1997 Chevy K1500 Pickup. I am having ABS activitaion at low speed 10 mph and below. On a low speed stop soon as the speedodometer drops to 10 mph this happens and also with every stop below 10 mph.
It is the same problem that GM is recalling 804,000 1999 thru 2003 chevy trucks for right now. I have removed and cleaned the wheel sensors and the speed sensor in the transfercase. There are no codes (as far as i can tell with my OBDII)and No ABS light activation.
All wiring is damage free. I can remove the fuse and brakes work fine so im pretty sure the hydraulic system is ok.Im stumped,,Thanks

ACCEPTED

I don't think that is the same if my information is correct.The recall ahs to do witha parking brake problem on manual transmission vehicles.You have an abs sensor problem and one or two of the front hub bearings will need replaced.Some one witha scan tool that can read the sensors would be able to tell which one or both is dropping out.

You must be thinking of a different recall. This one involves 1999 thru 2002 full size Chevy and GMC trucks. Speed sensor corrosion Campaign #05V379000.
It was just issued Aug, 29. 284 accidents related to this deal. People are running through the back of their garages because the ABS is activating at low speed stops.
The previous recall before this one was the Manual Trans/Parking brake one.
Thanks for the quick response. I put a multimeter on my wheel sensors and checked the AC output (its ac instead of dc on those sensors) . No out put on the left sensor, right sensor has 1 volt just spinning by hand.
Thanks again, Jim
