Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problems of the 2000 GMC Sierra 1500

: the contact stated while driving 25mph the abs light illuminated. The vehicle was pulled off the road without incident. The brake fluid was checked and then the vehicle was driven to the contact residents. When the vehicle was tuned off, the abs modulator was observed to be still running. The fuse to the modulator was disconnected and taken out. The dealer stated the abs modulator needed to be replaced. The manufacturer has not been.

: the contact stated while traveling various speeds on dry normal road conditions, the antilock braking system activated and pumped continuously when the brakes were applied. Shortly after, the abs warning light illuminated. The failure occurred while cruising. There were no warnings prior to the incident. A NHTSA recall regarding the speed sensors, was performed two weeks prior to the incident. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that both problems were not related, and a diagnostic test displayed that the electronic control module was faulty and would need to be replaced. There were no repairs made. The contact removed the fuse that supplied power to the electronic control module in the mean time, which deactivated the abs system. The contact planned to file a complaint with the manufacturer after filing a complaint with the NHTSA. Updated 1/19/2007 -.

1-I noticed brake failure at slow stopping speeds and the abs warning light stayed on. 2- this caused a few close calls as far as almost hitting structures or vehicles directly in front of me. 3-took to the dealer and was told it was the wheel speed sensor located in the wheel hub and replaced at a cost of $500. 00 plus . Also found out that this is a recall for east coast only recall # NHTSA id # 05v379000. Because this is a defective part on east coast I feel it should apply to my vehicle as well even though I'm on the west coast.
