- The problem
- Some of the abs equipped vehicles were built with an undersized brake return check valve. In incidents where hard brake pedal effort is applied on low friction road surfaces, like rain covered streets, the valves may fail, causing the abs to become inoperative. This creates excess brake pedal travel and may cause the abs warning light to come on.
- The risk
- Lack of front wheel abs could cause the front wheelbrakes to lock, increasing stopping distance which may result in an accident.
- The fix
- Replace the return check valve with the correct valve.
