2002 s10 ABS Problem
Hello,
I recently had an issue where my ABS light came on while I was driving & when I went to stop I could hear the ABS motor clicking/knocking & it seemed like my braking went almost completely away. The light eventually went off & my braking is back to normal now. Has anyone ever had this happen? Does anyone know what it could have been? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Justin

Are you sure about the sequence of events? The ABS takes itself out of the loop once it lights the warning indicator. What I think happened is, something happened to the signal from the wheel speed sensors that caused the ABS to modulate the brakes, and then the ABS declared a fault. Since things don't usually fix themselves, you probably want to get it checked out (at least, scan for any stored ABS trouble codes).

Unless you had subsequently disconnected the battery, there should still be stored C-codes (ABS belongs to Chassis). Either that particular scan tool doesn't support ABS (most of them don't) or there's a separate menu path to the ABS section.
