So yesterday it rained in Chicago, and normally my car does just fine in the rain.

I started noticing weird break pedal response. The pedal would sometimes loose a very little amount of "fight back". I would not lose any breaking power or have a problem stopping. This really dint bother me much as i figure it may just be me.

Only thing is, later that day the ABS and TSC (off) light came on, indicating that I no longer have anti-lock breaks.... Hmmm. So I turn the car off and back on. The light now goes away. The light will then come back on shorty. It comes and goes.

The problem just started yesterday. Any suggestions on what it might be? Possible low fluids? A sensor? Sorry if this description is a little vauge. Im a little hungover right now :)

Thanks!
 


It's usually a sensor. Check all the wiring to the sensors to make sure they are secure and not damaged. If that doesn't work you'll have to get it scanned by a tech II(dhp or hptuner can't read BCM codes) to find out which sensor is the culprit. The bad part is you have to replace the hub to replace the sensor. Similar thing happened to me. I replaced the hub and the light didn't go off. Turned out one of the connectors on the abs wires needed replaced.
 
with all the rain.....moisture might have gotten past the rubber weatherstrip on a connector......

just a thought....
 
Where would the wires and sensors be located?

Sorry, im not very familiar with the gp.

If someone could give a nice description of where to find this, I would really appriciate it. I would like to start to attempt to solve the problem asap. I will do some searching now and see what I can find. If I find it, I will edit this post. Otherwise, Please help me out :)

Thank you!
 
sensors are on the hubs, look at the back of the spindle (where the caliper mounts) and you should see the wires on the front, rear is similar
