Take the vehicle to a nearby parts store and see if they can run the code for you. most of the time its the Wheel Bearing on the front wheels of the car. The sensor is built in so you would have to replace it as an assembly. Wheel bearings and sensor related problems have always been an issue with these types of GM cars. When you get the associate to pull the Anti-Lock codes on your vehicle look to see which wheel it brings up as a fault. To further diagnose it see if you can borrow the scan tool and the associate to drive the vehicle down the road with the scan tool on the Data menu, in Anti-Lock Brakes menu. This will bring up the four wheel speed sensors as well as the transmission speed sensor. Compare the speed as you travel down the road and watch for any glitches or slower speed at one of the wheels. Dont be alarmed if the speeds are different while making a turn this is because the wheels do not travel at the same speed while turning. After you find the culprit you may replace the part as necessary.

I have a 2010 Pontiac G6 the anti lock keeps coming on but I can still start my car and drive it. How do I get the anti lock off? I mean it’s my car and I have the key for it every time I drive ??

Anti-Lock BRAKES, or Anti THEFT system?

Antilock brakes (ABS) you need a garage.

Anti-theft system, are you using the key you have always used. A Valet key only open doors. If the anti-theft light comes on and you can still drive it, you need an auto-electrician or a new vehicle.

My 2005 Chrysler Sebring started and turned off three times now, it just has a blinking red light?

Anti-Lock Warning Light (ABS) - If Equipped This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) described elsewhere in this manual. This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds. If the ABS light remains on or comes on during driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required, however, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally provided that the BRAKE warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefit of Anti-Lock Brakes. 24 7 Locksmith Orchard Park NY 716 710 7400 Locksmith Orchard Park NY

1999 Buick century anti lock signal and trac off displayed when traveling over 60 miles per hour

You will be best off bringing the car in for service. If the anti-lock signal comes on, it means that your ABS system has a fault and you do not have anti-lock brakes functioning. When the light comes on the car runs on your brakes alone, no anti-lock.

To check the codes and the ABS system, the car should really be serviced.

Good luck!!

Anti- lock light

You have a bad abs sensor the reason it is going on when you move is the computer is trying to read the miles per hour on the wheels one of your sensors is not reading properly. Your regular brakes will work but your abs will not when the light is on. Have autozone check for codes they do this for free:)
