  • low trac, very strange

    when i am about to come to a complete stop and i am easing on the break to slow right before my car stops completely, the break pads let up and then click back on as if they were anti lock braking for no reason, the low trac light comes on as soon as the breaks slip, my guess its a electric problem.. anyone know what the problem is or got any ideas any help would be great

    That does not sound good at all dude. You should take it in to get looked at ASAP.

      Mine did this a couple of weeks ago. I reset the computer and checked the connections at the brakes.

      It went away and hasn't come back.

      Hope you have the same luck I had!

        My car does the exact same thing, but very rarely. At one point in time, I even got an ABS INOP light after it occured. I got it scanned, and it threw a wheel speed sensor code. Those sensors are waayy expensive, but that may be the problem. I just reset the comp, and the problem disappears for as long as 6 months. It also doesn't happen to me in cold weather, only hot. I don't know what the deal is, and this may have not helped you much, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

          Hey michael I have the same EXACT problem as you. Right before I come to a complete stop the brakes will disengage, then I will hear a clicking noise coming from under the hood. During the clicking noise my car will travel a few feet, before my brakes return and stop the car. Everytime this happens I get the LOW TRAC light. I somethings get the ABS INOP light but very rarely. How do you reset the computer. Is there a way to disable abs system so that my car would only have regular brakes. What would happen if I removed my abs fuses and relay. Would that disable the abs system and would it throw a ABS INOP light. SO WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO RESET THE COMPUTER.

            Everyone that has that problem is a 95

            Check with a dealer about recalls for an issue like that.

            If there aren't any, do more research, seems like it could be a common problem among that year of car.

                  Okay, I have the same prob. The thing is, I can't do the PCM reset thing the way a lot of others suggest. The only PCM fuses I've found in my '95 one that says PCm in the underhood box and another that says PCM IGN in the dash. Every time I find the reset thing, everyone says to do the PCM BAT and the PCM IGN. What's the correct procedure for mine? [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]

                    WHOA WHOA! I had this exact same problem, and it is not even close to as complicated/expensive to repair as the dealerships/mechanics make it seem. All that I did was went back to the ABS connection (I believe it's on the differential) for the rear wheels, and unplugged it. I blew in it and tapped it a few times to (maybe) clean it, then plugged it back in. I have had noooooo problems since then, and it didn't cost me a penny! BTW, my ABS works better than EVER! And yes, mine was also a 95. Hope this helps some people out!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
