The coolant sensor frequently goes bad when old coolant gets junk on it, and if it ever gets too hot, it bakes on. Chances are if you replaced the sensor, the light would stop

Also the ABS sensor is faulty, you'll need to replace the wheel speed sensor that is at fault

I was thinking they were faulty!

Yah my coolant looked bad, soo baked on does sound about right! I'll talk to my Parts guy about getting those sensors

the ABS almost killed me twice in mine, after that it was history. try trail braking into a corner at high speed, hit a small patch of sand/dirt with one front wheel, tire locks for a split scond then continues spinning, ABS kicks in leisurely pulsing ALL 4 brakes as i almost slide off the road in a high speed wobbly braking/ understeer situation trying to pull the car straight. since i took it off the car has WAY more potential in braking and handling now. provided you cant be a dumbass in poor road conditions and expect the car to do the work, you have to. best brake mod ive done on my camaro.

no, the proportioning is all gay in it anyhow. i took the whole unit out, saved like 20lbs. added a manual wilwood prop valve. since i have 315's on the back i got it opened up to almost full flow. the LT1 brakes arent the strongest.

I'm currently having the same problem with both my abs and coolant lights did anyone solve their problem? I just pulled mine out of storage yesterday and noticed they came on.

have the codes diagnosed. more than likely you'll have to replace the wheel speed sensor or ABS module and your coolant sensor.

yah see the thing was my 3rd brake light never worked since I bought the car 3 yrs. ago so I fixed it like 4 weeks ago light went away I was all happy then I pulled the car outta storage took it for a rip up the street and noticed it came back on.

But I did read on LS1LT1.com that the wheel speed sensor is a common problem.

quick way to make the coolant light go out is to unplug the sensor on the side of the radiator just below the coolant cap, those sensors go bad all the time and really aren't needed if you aren't a retard. As for abs, get it scanned, I can do it

what he said. you need to get it diagnosed before you just toss parts at it.
