truprayaz Posted March 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Okay so we are going to check the sensor in a few minutes....we've had crazy rain and no chance to check it till today:-) Plus the light has been off mostly but came on several times today. And at one point when I was driving I went to hit the brakes and it kinda did a sort of a lurch/jerk to a stop like the brake was trying to catch....which is odd cause we had new rotors and brakes put on less than a year ago. Could this be another sign that the hub is bad? Also I checked ebay and I can get the new front wheel hub bearing assembly with abs for under 50.00 free shipping....is this what I'd have to replace or do I need the abs control module? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BodybyFisher Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 The abs speed sensor is part of the hub bearing, go to www.rockauto.com and search for hub bearing its about $75 Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The lurch/jerk was probably the ABS kicking in. It feels real strange if you are not used to it. Don't get the cart before the horse and start buying parts till you know you actually "NEED" parts. :) Check the plug and wiring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jndnaps Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Did you figure out what the problem was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Yochum Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I had this exact problem in my 94 SLS. It turned out that the abs and traction disabling was caused from low brake fluid in the reservoir. Every time I would take a right turn it would disable. Did you ever figure out what was causing your issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adallak Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Michele and Roy, 1. Why did you replace the alternator? 2. How old is the battery? Was it discharged completely a couple of times? Any recent load tests? My guess is that the battery does not provide sufficient power and ABS might be the weakest link (old and dirty or loose contacts at the connectors, etc.) Drive for some 30 min to charge the battery, clean the codes and see if they come back when the battery is fully charged (as much as it is possible for a given battery). And, by the way, a new part is not necessarily a good part. They can be bad right out of box. Your local Advance Autoparts can check the charging system and give you a printed report for free.
