My 01 Silverado occasionally shows the ABS and red park brake lights. I see there can be several causes and need to read the code. The lights always reset next time it's shut off and restarted.
My question is, do I need to scan it when the light is on? Is the code stored even after a restart and there is no light? The check engine light is not being set.
I was looking on Ebay at scanners. Most say they will scan emissions, air bag, and ABS. Prices range from $40 to $500! I've been borrowing one from an auto supply, but thinking it's time to get my own. Any suggestions?
Looking on Youtube, there is a problem with the ABS module having broken solder connections. Showed how to gently pry it open and repair it. I'm willing to give it a try, but want to be sure it's not a wiring or sensor problem before opening the module.
