ABS and TC failure

Chevrolet Equinox 2005
The ABS and TC indicators started turning on and activating, and thus when braking it feels rather rough and noisy.The wiring has been checked and, after the sensors were cleaned, it worked properly but only for two days. Thanks for anyone's help.

Disconnect the sensors and you won't have any problems. It is just like driving a car withouth ABS.

The same happened to me, the mechanic changed the harness which at first sight seemed to be fine and the noise disappeared. He said this was a typical problem, that the harness breaks on its inside due to the type of wire. Try this.

ABS, transmission, fuel pump

Chevrolet Equinox 2007  80000 miles
I have been having lots of problems with my Chevrolet, all of them really expensive to be solved. First it was the transmission, then the ABS and now the fuel pump.

I was told the problem was the fuel pump, but after an electrician examined it, the solution was repairing the computer's failure.

Thank you marvin. In my case a part of it was broken but, as they are made of only one piece, it cannot be repaired.

I had an Equinox 2005 and the cause is that the current is not reaching the pump's fuse. You should give direct electrical current to this fuse. The ABS is simply a sensor located in the tire that might need to be cleaned or changed. There is nothing problematic to worry about.

ABS sensor is in the wheel hub/brake caliper assembly...the one in the tire is the TPS (tire pressure sensor)

ABS and TC on

Chevrolet Equinox 2005  100000 miles
I would like to know if anybody knows why the ABS and TC alarms turn on. I've checked the brake pads but they are all right. It is suddenly that they turn on and then won't turn off.

Service AWD system stays on SolvedSolved

Chevrolet Equinox 2014  64022 miles
I bought this car used about a month ago maybe and the service all wheel drive system on the dash has been on since I bought it I've had it taken to AutoZone for them to read the codes and it came back saying to remove the debris or blockage from the ABS wheel speed sensor so when I took it too tire discounters for them to look at it they did a diagnostic test and said that someone programmed the codes wrong and to take it to the dealership and they got totally different codes so I took it to Goodyear and told them everything and they hooked up and diagnostic and got different codes and they said that there were no codes at all and that they won't do any work on it and to take it to a dealership

It sounds like there may be conflicting information about the cause of the "Service AWD system" warning on your 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

Take your vehicle to a different mechanic or dealership for a second opinion. Having a professional diagnose the issue is the best way to find out what's causing the warning light to come on.
Make sure that your vehicle's ABS wheel speed sensors are working properly. If they're not functioning correctly, they can cause the warning light to come on and impact the vehicle's all-wheel-drive system.
Check the wiring and connections for the ABS wheel speed sensors and the ABS control module. If there are any damaged or corroded wires or connections, they can cause issues with the ABS system and trigger the warning light.
If the ABS wheel speed sensors and the wiring and connections are all in good working order, you may need to have the ABS control module reprogrammed by a professional.

Many failures

Chevrolet Equinox 2005
I have just bought my Equinox and I have already found many failures: the ABS indicator turns on and no one can tell me why, the interior plastics are disgusting and break too easily, and it has a terribly high gas consumption, as if it were 8 cylinders.

The ABS indicator may even turn on because one of your tires is different to the rest. It is quite frequent that it turns on after a brake checking. What you need to do is to reset your computer; there are some YouTube videos that can help you learn how to do it properly.
