97 Cavalier ABS light on safe to drive? Kansas88 03-19-2005, 11:29 PM
Today I was forced to come to a quick stop which my ABS kicked in, later on while crusin the ABS light came on and won't clear. Is this safe to drive? and is this easy for a Mechanic to fix? Thanks for any reply. Tookie 03-20-2005, 12:39 PM Usually this is an indication that your ABS will not be available should the need exist. Consequently, you should still have full braking capabilities; but make sure you don't end up in a situation that could be managed using ABS. As for it being hard for a mech to fix, it depends solely on what has mitigated the problem. It might just be a clean and preen job; (easy); or a full blown repair. (less easy) I'd seek a couple of estimates before laying out big bucks. OTOH, this would be a great time to practise driving without ABS. Modulating that brake is becoming a lost art given todays prevalence of ABS in vehicles. Be cautious and have some fun I'd say.
