Chevy Venture ABS In Parking Lot
2004 Chevy Venture 3400 V6 ABS Warning.
I was driving my van for about 5 blocks. While I was pulling into a parking space, the ABS light
came on at the exact time I felt my van start to fight me. I had my foot on the gas pedal and the
van almost came to a complete stop (similar to as if I was breaking). Why does my abs light come
on
Answer:
An ABS light coming on when turning is usually the sign of a front wheel speed sensor problem,
or one of the harnesses going to each. This will usually not cause the problem of the van fighting
you and hard to keep it moving. If this van is all-wheel drive, then this could happen. In that case,
you may have a problem an ABS sensor or harness, or a problem in the rear drive unit. Either
way, the system would have to be scanned for trouble codes in order to find out what system has
a problem, and begin diag. of the system.

Driver side turn signal works fine when the brake is NOT applied. As soon as brake is applied,
turn signal flashes very fast. Also related, when cruise control is on and as soon as you turn on
the driver side turn signal it turns the cruise control off. Also related, when in reverse, the driver
side turn signal does not work at all. Tried replacing the bulbs and didn't work. Autozone
suggested replacing the Brake light Switch.
Answer:
As long as the bulbs that were replaced were the proper type, then this sounds like a problem in
the drivers side Rear lamp circuit board assembly. Sometimes the connector gets corroded, or the board
shorts out internally, causing all kinds of odd lighting problems, shorting out, open circuits, back
feeding or blown fuses.
Try swapping the entire assembly with the passenger side, and see if the problems follow. If they do, then you have a problem in that rear circuit board and it will need to be replaced.
Question:
Van makes noise when driving on road when going around curves its quiet. If you turn
the wheel loose it goes straight if you turn just a little either way the noise stops. 2001 warner bros Venture van 3.4 V6.
Answer:
The noise you are describing could be tire noise or possibly a noise front hub bearing. Hub
bearings will make noise when turning in one direction, and not the other. That is, unless both
are noisy.
To check for a tire noise, rotate the front tires to the rear and see if the noise goes away or changes.
For a noisy wheel bearing, drive the van straight. Turn the wheel slightly to the right. If the noise is there, or gets louder, then the left front hub bearing is the most likely cause. This is because the body roll puts the vehicle weight on the left side during a right turn. Same rule applies for a left turn.
