The worse I have seen so far is when you hit the brakes at a slow speed (1-10mph) the abs activates and causes you to travel a little further before stopping (3-6 ft). It can set codes as well. Basically the dealer cleans the rust from the speed sensor mounting surface and inspects the sensor for any flaws, bends, etc, then reinstalls or replaces the sensor. I haven't had to replace any yet, just clean. There should be no reason to reflash the computer. The only thing computer related would be clearing codes.
my brake and abs lights come on at the same time. this is speed sensor related right? can you give me the cleaning process? i pulled the sensors once and wiped them down with a towel but it still does it. i want this fixed

No offense aimed at you freind. I was refering to the whole re-call situation. I get continous phone calls everyday becasue of that damn thing. People with a 1998 truck will call and say "hey buddy, my truck got that there re-call? GM outta make that sensor up for me".....and all that bullshit.

Everyone ready the Sticky thread about re-calls and info and I'll check your VIN#'s personally and tell you if you got a re-call.

Wait, I'm confused...I received the recall notice in the mail and had it done a year or so ago . I did a google search and found the recall number: NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 05V379000
