Default Anti-lock brakes engaging at the wrong times - 11-28-2006 , 12:36 AM






My 99 Lumina has started doing something weird.

When I hit the brakes (no matter how fast or slow), the anti-locks engage.
After a short time the anti lock brake light comes on and the anti locks do
not engage anymore.


does anyone have an idea what's causing this?


Thanks in advance!

You can start looking at you wheel sensors for frayed or damaged wire
