2004 Chevy Malibu ABS Light Problem

12/16/2012 10:16 AM

I have looked all through the owners manual, and have tried Google, but have yet to find an answer for this.

The ABS light is flashing. But not when the car is running or being used, but when it is off and parked. It never comes on when the car is running or being used, and that what all I can seem to find info on. But when it is off, not running, and just parked, it is flashing. Like flash,,,, flash,,,, about like every two seconds or so.

Anyone?

Really?

When the car is off and parked the flashing means that?

I am currently having similar issue. I had the 3-beep sequence happen three times this morning. I pulled my scanguage out and got 3 codes P0673(glow plugs, I've been lazy this summer), P0118, and P0128.

Those last two refer to temperature sensor: VW 059919501A. But I have had electrical issues for awhile. If I try to roll down several windows at a time, I can dim my interior lights.

I even notice my headlights dim that way too. The past couple days the 3-beep has been happening more, and when rolling up several windows I got my radio to stop playing a cd for about 3-4 seconds. I think there is a short somewhere or a bad ground.

OK,

An Up-Date

The ABS light is no longer flashing,, BUT.....

Now the security symbol is doing the exact same thing. It is the symbol of a car with a padlock.

It is flashing the ecaxct same way, only when the car is off and parked and flash ever two seconds or so.
