Cummins Troubleshooting Help???

Q: i would guess the rear wheel speed sensor in the rear axle how would this cause the abs and brake light to go onare they related on the same circuit the rear wheel speed sensor is part of the abs system. its actually the abs computer that provides vehicle speed data as read from the rear wheel sensor to the pcm which in turn drives the speedometer gauge. so when your rwss starts flaking out you not only get erratic speedometer function but the abs computer sees a differential between the rear wheels and the fronts and sets a fault which illuminates both lights. i just fixed my 99 dodge pickup of this aliment. the red brake is on all the time with the yellow abs light. the speedometer starts working when the truck goes at least 15 mph. it was the sensor on top the the front housing on the rear end. a $30 part one nut holding it on changed it out and poof all is well! .

tbone wrote yes it is a stop-gap measure but not for cars. oil is used for far more than just gasoline. alaskan oil is not sweet crude. iow it is kinda worthless. only sweet crude thats used for gasoline is worth anything .

sounds like your dogs are seriously bored. thats the problem with smart dogs - if theres nothing to do they invent stuff. usually destructive. agreed. trouble is they seem to prefer wires and hoses to the chew toys we buy. - are you going to train them for something we bought them as family pets but will be training them to hunt cats when the season opens. -- nathan w. collier http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com .
