Record by record

11 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

How it is said to have ended

  • says it did not fix it1

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

Known issuesUnwanted ABS activation at low speed (front wheel speed sensor mounting corrosion)6

  1. Owner complaint2001 GMC YUKON XL 1500 ・ 2011-08-03

    ABS system activating unexpectedly during low-speed stops

    1. 1Fault

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Not stated

    3. 3Correction

      I ENDED UP DEACTIVATING MY ABS SYSTEM COMPLETELY TO CREATE A RELIABLE BRAKING SYSTEM.

      What the documents say to do

      Unwanted ABS activation at low speed (front wheel speed sensor mounting corrosion)

      Confirm

      • The reading should be at least 350 mV AC; if it is less, the wheel speed sensor must be replaced.

      Repair

      1. Dealers remove the sensor, clean its mounting surface on the bearing, apply rust inhibitor and grease, reinstall it and check peak-to-peak output voltage.
      2. The passage heading states that the repair is cleaning the wheel speed sensor mounting surface.

      Caution

      • Do not pry the sensor out of the bore; prying breaks the sensor body off in the bore.

    Fault
    I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHILE EXECUTING LOW SPEED STOPS (CITY DRIVING, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC) MY ABS SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE AND THE PUMP COULD BE HEARD AND FELT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. (1 more)
    Remedy
    I ENDED UP DEACTIVATING MY ABS SYSTEM COMPLETELY TO CREATE A RELIABLE BRAKING SYSTEM.
    Inspection
    WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF ANY RECALL. *KB
    Consequence
    THIS CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.

    Fault
    WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS OLD, IT DEVELOPED THE SLOW-SPEED ABS ACTIVATION PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN YOUR ABOVE-DESCRIBED ACTION, RESULTING IN OCCASIONAL INABILITY TO STOP PROPERLY AT STOP SIGNS AND PARKING SPACES.
    Remedy
    WE THEN TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP, WHO REPAIRED IT BY DISASSEMBLY, CLEANING AND REASSEMBLY, AT OUR EXPENSE, SINCE THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAD LAPSED.
    Consequence
    THE FREQUENCY OF INCIDENT INCREASED, UNTIL IN EARLY 2004, WE HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE WE BUMPED ANOTHER VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH WITH NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES.

    Read the sentences of the record
    Fault
    AS VEHICLE IS SLOWING TO A STOP, THE ABS ENGAGES LIFTS THE BRAKE PEDAL, ESSENTIALLY ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FORWARD, AND REQUIRING A QUICK REACTION TO STRONGLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE.
    Cause
    THIS IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY AND CORRODED ABS SPEED SENSOR, WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED ON THESE VEHICLES FROM 2002, BUT THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2001 YEAR.
