So, you mechanic-types, here’s my deal:
My ABS doesn’t seem to be working. We have had a lot of ice and snow up here, and if I stomp on my brakes, I can get them to completely lock up, and no “pumping” occurs in the pedal. Is it possible my ABS is disabled? How can I verify if it has been disabled? Would the ABS light come on when the ABS is activated in a hard stop/skid?
I suspect it may be disabled because way back in mid-2000, about 6 months after I bought the pickup, the ABS light came on and stayed on. I took it to the dealer, and a couple of hours later they indicated it was “fixed.” I took it home and never looked back, but since then, I don’t recall that my ABS has ever worked. Is it possible the dealer simply disabled the ABS, and didn’t actually fix it?
Thanks!
