Description of the problem | Dt*: the contact stated the abs and check engine warning lights illuminated while driving various speeds. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer for inspection. The service mechanic determined the computer in the electrical system was located near the rear wheels and was producing false failures causing the illumination of those warning lights. Additionally, it was also suggested that when the abs warning light was illuminated, the antilock brakes could fail. The antilock brakes were replaced, but no corrections were made to the computer. |
