Warning lights came on yesterday when I started it up for the drive home. ABS and Brake lights are lit on the dash and the Service Brake System appears in the DIC. Anybody experienced this?

Condition

Some customers may comment that the ABS light, Service Brake System message comes on intermittently during initial start-up. The condition does not cause a DTC to be stored permanently.

Cause

The cause may be a timing issue related to the cranking/starting of the vehicles. It appears that the condition is more likely to occur on vehicles with diesel engines, though it can occur on vehicles with gasoline engines as well.

Correction

Reprogram the EBCM with TIS software version 7.5, released July 26,2004 or newer. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) (SI Document ID #1451930).
