Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module
Manufactured:
05/31/1991 - 04/30/1994
Affected:
12,091
Defect:
Moisture can follow the electrical harness and enter the pressure switch connector causing corrosion and malfunction of the switch.
Consequence:
The corrosion causes a deterioration of the electricalswitch connection and can result in false illumination of abs and/or the brake warning lights and/or the loss of power assistance because of no hydraulic pumpoperation. loss of power assist increases the driver's brake pedal effort required for stopping which can result in extended braking distances.
Correction:
