When is the last time you bleed the brake line? Get few bottles of DOT3 brake fluid and a friend to help you bleed the brake. Start from the cylinder closest to the master cyc and work your way out toward the rear, Get the corrosion and dirt out. Do two of more pass if you have to; Do three pass for the rear. ===== If the rear is still locking up after line flush then the proportional valve is out of order.

hello fello car nuts! i have a '03 tahoe, while driving down the road the speedo needle would drop slowly to 0, i changed out the speedo sensor on the tail shaft of the tranny. in doing so this caused my brakes to go crazy. the ABS ligh comes on, the brake indicator light comes on, then the service brake alarm starts dinging, and every so often the peddle pulsates while pushing them! please help! i have tried to reset the computer by diconnecting the battery, but nothing helped..

Ummm I do not wish to step on you toes mustgo,But you must bleed the cyl.the most distance from the master cylinder first.I agree with your solution .There is one other thing.Its a brake proportioning valve.The more load in the back,the more brake.less load ,less brake.It connects onto the rear axle from the chassis and has a valve small setup from the brakes.Make sure its not damaged or bent.Its usually a thin solid metal rod.Cheers
