Okay, got a bit different ABS problem than what I've been able to find, although I do suspect that the solution may be similar.
About the last week or so, I've noticed a vibration/noise from the front left of my 2009 Trailblazer after I start it. This is while still in park, but I believe I also hear it at some levels of driving speed (easier to notice at slower speeds, very noticable at park)
I believe it may be the front passenger ABS engaging. The noise is similar to what you would hear when ABS does indeed kick in. I can seem find lots of people who have had problems with ABS kicking in at low speeds, but this is happening in park.
I haven't had a chance to get it into the garage yet to be checked out. I suspect that I should be able to pop off the tire, start the vehicle and pretty much put my hand right on the caliper to see if it's doing it or not.
Has anyone had a similar problem with the ABS kicking in while parked? No recent brake work done on the vehicle. No codes are kicking in (at least not enough to trigger a dash light). It's winter in Alberta right now so my trac light does come on a lot, but that's valid in this part of the country at this time of year![Smile :smile: :smile:](/forums/smilies/smile.gif)
No drivability issues, but am I okay to be driving it? If it gets worse, it's not going to do anything goofy to strand me, is it? Had a wheel speed sensor act up on the wife's Chevy car about a year ago, would cause her to stall at low speeds due to traction control throttling back her RPMs because she was spinning out (she wasn't) and not leaving enough RPMs to run the engine. Not critical, but annoying.
Any help and/or comments are appreciated.
Thanks.
