Seven problems related to brake abs warning light have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet S10. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the brakes seized. In addition, the vehicle became resistant to acceleration attempts as the abs warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
Within the last couple of weeks whenever I am coming to a stop at slow speeds, less than 10 mph, my anti lock brakes do not allow the vehicle to stop. I have gone into a number of intersection and pass stop signs. This happens in reverse or drive. I have removed the abs fuse and have not had any problems. Now my abs light stays on but the vehicle stops. The dealer said that the front hub bearing assy's are loose but the longtime repair shop I always go to can find nothing wrong with the bearing assy's. I think there is rust and corrosion on the brake sensor mounting surface and have a copy of a TSB to give to my garage to hopefully try and correct this potentially dangerous problem.

Abs light comes on at high speeds, won't go off until shutting off car.
Abs light came on while driving at 75mph and stayed on. Contacted dealer, and was not able to duplicate problem.
While driving the abs light illuminated, and brake warning light flashed on and off. Dealer has inspected vehicle, and attempted to repair it.
During braking on wet, bumpy or gravel surfaces the brake pedal becomes "soft" and goes to the floor. The vechicle becomes hard to stop. The abs warning light comes on and will not go out until the vehicle is restarted. This is a very dangerous situation.
