So I have an 01 GT that I'm about to run off a cliff because I'm so sick of dealing with it. I have had issues with ABS about once every year for the past 6 years i've owned it. I have replaced all 4 hubs in the past 4 months with zzp premium hubs and I still get issues with the ABS lights coming on, and right before they come on the ABS kicks in for a second, not even braking hard, and it pushes me off the brakes. If I have replaced all the hubs, is my only issue some electrical lines running from the computer to the hubs? I also have had a coolant sensor that's constantly saying low coolant, even though it's full. I read somewhere that there can be rubbing on a wiring harness on the driver side from the air conditioner system which can cause coolant sensor and ABS issues, could that be my issue?

tl;dr replaced all 4 hubs with zzp, still get ABS lights coming on, also coolant sensor says its low, but its not. help?
 


A scanner could watch all 4 wheels at once and see if any one wheel is dropping out and causing the issue. Then you could look into the wire harness leading to that wheel.

Other times is the ABS module going on the fritz, kinda common on these older cars.

The coolant level sensors are just something that can fail, try replacing the sensor or just unplug it and check it every so often.
 
Easier to just put a new hub on. 85 bucks for a acdelco on Amazon Unless you are really good at splicing wires in very tight spaces and that to will eventually fail.

Coolant sensor hole on radiator is probably junked up with dex crud and can't read right. Or it is just bad.

New hubs don't come with a harness though.

They only have 2in of wire and a plug, so how would installing a new bearing fix a wiring issue that may come from a section of wire under the car??

You can buy a splice in wire harness from a parts store or just make your own. I'd peel back the plastic wire protector and see if you can find a broken wire or a spot is very poor condition.
 


^^^ read it wrong. You are correct if the issue is in the wire from the unit to the hub. I have not seen that issue before. Mine have all been in the 2 inch piece or in the hub themselves.
