Archived from groups: alt>autos>dodge (more info?)
I have a 1997 Caravan ES and yesterday I noticed the "ABS" light came
on. No other symptoms as far as the brake system, but I did notice a
somewhat loud whine noise when I started it up in the garage. The
noise went away as I pulled out of the driveway. I didn't notice it
again during any part of the day.
Any ideas on how $$$ this will end up costing me?
Service is ususally done at Big O tire shop as opposed to the dealer
due to prior experience with them, and better hours for service.

You will need to find out what fault code is stored in The ABS module.

It was a loss of voltage to sensor. The tech cleared the code and was
unable to make it come up again. So we are driving again.
He said it could have been caused by a hard braking incident.
It's a wait and see now.

Has nothing to do with hard braking. Normally a weak battery will cause this
fault to set. Are you experiencing any slow crank or battery issues?

Haven't had problems, but the battery is about 4 years old. I think
I'll have the folks at AutoZone run a check on it.
BTW, no cold weather to speak of here, but today's temps are ranging
from 82° to 115°F.
