How do you disable the ABS Control on a 1999 Venture?
If your Chevy Venture ABS light is on, that means that there is some type of problem with your anti-lock brakes. For the light to turn off, you will need to see a mechanic and have the problem looked at.
Have vehicle scanned to determine problem
ABS stands for Anti-Lock Brake System. If the ABS light is on, your ABS has a problem. Clean all wheel sensors of any debris. If that does not help, Seek out a professional for this repair.
The ABS sensor on ALL year Chevy Venture vans is located in the hub on the Left and right front tires. If the sensor is failing you unfortunately have to replace the entire hub. The barrings and the sensor are all sealed inside the hub. The ABS electrical connector is just behind the hub under the CV axle.
The ABS sensor is built in to the wheel hub, if its bad, you have to replace the whole wheel hub, they run about $90-120 depending on brand and where you get it.
Take to a dealership for inputting codes.
The ABS is notorious on the ventures, have it checked for any codes. The ABS motor pack going out on these vans is extremely common. I have a 1999 Chevy venture with a weak ABS motor, brakes work fine, but ABS isn't fully functional. You can find a new ABS motor at a junkyard for about $100, takes less than an hour to install, or pay around $400 at a GM dealer for a brand new part that needs to be calibrated by the dealer.
When the ABS light stays on it's telling you there is a problem with the ABS system and it is not functioning. There will be a code(s) set. You need to read the code(s) set in the system with the proper equipment in order to begin to make repairs.
Cut hose on the drivers side between the ABS and the intake manifold, try to do it in a straight section. It's a PITA on these vans.
