Abs and brake light dashboard indicator light activates after any rain or underside of car becoming wet due to road moisture. Water, salt, and other environmental contaminants cause various components of the abs to fail triggering the abs and/or brake failure light on dashboard to turn on. Various gm dealer recommend replacement of the electronic brake control module and brake pressure valve in addition to associated connection hardware. Estimated cost of parts is in excess of $2k and labor is $500. No assurances are given this will fix problem. Previous recalls by gm, vehicle owner complaints, internet websites, and internet forums address ongoing abs and brake light system problems due to exposure to water, moisture, and other environmental elements; indicates the life cycle of gm abs and brake systems are severely reduced in comparison to all other makes and model cars/trucks with abs systems. The number one NHTSA complaint issue remains the abs brake system on GMC Yukons produced from 2000 to 2006. There have been various NHTSA/GMC recall notices that address partial fixes to the abs but none requiring the recall of the complete abs system itself. Failure of the abs will result in brake lockup at any speed. The failure of the abs system to function properly because gm did not design the system for it's operating environment has created a dangerous expensive problem for GMC Yukon owner/operators.
