ASR light stays on

I own a '96 camaro z28 and at first my ASR and ABS lights would sometimes be on and sometimes wouldnt but now they come on everytime I start my card and do not turn off. I am wondering if anyone knows what I have to do to fix this problem?

Re: ASR light stays on

the fuse panel on the side of the dash.. with the car off, unplug the "PCM" fuse for a minute, see if it helps when you put it back in and start.

not going to do anything for the ABS & ASR lights, those are not controlled by the PCM

check the ground stud on the pass fender, take all the wires off it, take the stud loose, ckean everything up good anmd reinstall

Re: ASR light stays on

Could be a bad connection at the throttle body. There's a set of wires that connects to/on/near the TB... At one time both my "ASR Off" and "ABS" lights were on, like you describe - it turned out to be this connection.

Could be a problem with a wheel speed sensor, as well - bad sensor, bad connection, etc.

The ABS and ASR systems are not controlled by the PCM, so resetting the PCM probably won't do anything (but it's always worth a try). Every time you turn the ignition off, and then restart the vehicle, it should retry the ABS/ASR systems, and then only fault if the condition still exists.

Re: ASR light stays on

I rehooked up the wires to my amp and I pressed on the brake and my middle brake light wasn't working right, before it would go on if I let off the brake and turn off when i pushed the brake, and then i pushed on the pastic piece by the dome light if the hatch is popped then my brake light work right and my asr and abs lights stay off. I don't no what i did but it seems to be working.
