V10 Brake/ABS Lights On

Mar 25, 2005 Last reply: 21 years ago 5 Replies

I have a 1999 RV with 11k miles on it, it has the V10 engine.



Yesterday morning I started it and the Brake and ABS lights came on. Anyone know the most common cause and fix?



Thanks,



Dennis



If you get the codes read, it should tell you exactly what is wrong, the problem is that normal places like Autozone do not have a code reader for ABS.

In my case it turned out to be the rear sensor, which is easy to replace (at least on my truck) and seems to be the most common cause. It could be something else, of course.

Since you mention it is an RV....... If the vehicle has been sitting for awhile, I'd take it out and drive it before worrying about it. You may find that the problem cures itself. (I don't know if the light will go out by itself or not. You may be able to disconnect the battery for a period of time, or it may have to be reset by a code reader.)

Clark, I have a code reader but it comes up No Codes.

Is there a special code reader just for ABS brakes?

Thanks,

Yes, that is why I mentioned AutoZone did not have one.
