Thread: not reading ABS unit?

So my abs light and trac off light are now constantly on and the scanner that I bought do not read abs codes. So I decided to take it to o reillys cause its right down the street and I know them there and their scanner reads all GM codes. So we hook it up to read the codes and he's telling me that its not even picking up the abs unit in the car?? Got me puzzled there. Has anyone else had this issue where the scanner does t even pick up that you have an abs module? Is the module bad, therefore its not reading it? Checked fuses and havnt found any of them bad. . .

Any input would be appreciated......

Sounds like there "scanner reads all GM codes" may not read ABS codes.

So there would be no reason why its not picking up the abs module?

I have my tuner buddy but he's outta town for awhile for work so id have to wait for him to come back I I cant find neone else

There could be reasons, but not likely. If you get the same result with a scanner that does ABS codes, then consider the module.

Would it cause any complications driving? Because I seriously have none what so ever. The car drives like its brand new all cept for tho abs light and an evap vent control code I goy yest

No. The ABS may try and cycle while you are braking, but if it isn't or hasn't, drive on.

I hate service lights!!!

When the abs and Trac lights are on they abs system is off it won't do anything.

Go to a shop and have them read it like the others said.
