Let me be the first with the "Expanded Horizons" to ask an automotive

question regarding fault code readers.



I have a 1996 GMC Sonoma, Similar to the Chevrolet S-10.  My brake line

rusted through and dumped the brake fluid, resulting in air entering the ABS

unit.  After bleeding the ABS module I still have the ABS light illuminated.

Brakes seem to work fine but no ABS.  I purchased an inexpensive code

reader, but it seems that this works on almost all GM vehicles starting at

1996, but would you believe, not mine!  Anyone have experience with this

problem, including how to fix it, and where I might, if needed, get a code

reader?  Any help appreciated.

   A 'tad' bit outside the herding of electrons

   but I think you can find legacy code readers

   on eBay. It seems likely that with contaminated

   electronics, the device is probably toast

   and needs replacement. If push comes to shove,

   you can pay the tariff for a local read of

   the codes . . . but it will probably confirm

   what seems most likely.
