#2393 of 2457 VENTURE ABS LIGHT by jeddry Sep 22, 2008 (6:41 pm)
Hey gang,   I have a 2001 Venture and my ABS and Traction control lights are on. Any suggestions before I spend a bunch at a garage for a diagnosis? Any way to temporarily shut them off for a day? Replies to this message: 442dude (Sep 22, 2008 6:56 pm)

Replying to: jeddry (Sep 22, 2008 6:41 pm) Probably a bad wheel speed sensor - they're part of the bearings so they have to replace a bearing to repair it...Only thing you can check is the connectors at each wheel to make sure that they're tight and in good condition. If they're all on OK, you have to let them hook it up for a diagnostic check so they can figure out which one it is.

Replying to: jeddry (Sep 22, 2008 7:53 pm) No, If you get an OBDII controller and turn off the light, the garage will know. They will know because your van's computer will tell them that not enough time has passed for the light to be on or off (since you reset the light); diagnostics in the computer need a certain amount of driving time to put the light on or not. They'll give you your van back and say bring it back in after a 100 miles or so. Then your light will be back on.   Another way to put it is that there are three results when you hook you computer up to a computer: Pass (light is off); Fail (light is on); Not Enough Info (light is off).   If you "turn it off," you'll just put it in "Not Enough Info" mode and they'll tell you to come back.   -Tony Replies to this message: jeddry (Sep 23, 2008 5:54 pm)

#2398 of 2457 CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS by jeddry Sep 30, 2008 (8:42 pm)
Is this something I can change at home in the driveway or should the shop do it? Pretty handy but not sure on this one?
#2399 of 2457 STARTER PROBLEMS by jeddry Oct 02, 2008 (3:06 am)
Ever since I bought the starter it grinds when I start the van. Now it ticks and eventually it starts, Does this sound like the starter is going? If so is this difficult to change and can it be rebuilt or should I just replace it? Replies to this message: 442dude (Oct 02, 2008 4:06 pm)

Replying to: qinael (Aug 27, 2008 1:13 pm) Did you have this looked at? What was the problem? I am having the same complaint.

Replying to: jeddry (Oct 02, 2008 3:06 am) I've never done a starter on a Venture but I remember on my Celebrity, you had to check the backlash of the starter gear to flywheel (3.1 V6)...if the shims weren't right, it would grind. The starter came with a tool to measure the backlash and shims to correct it of needed.   If you determine that the starter needs to be replaced, don't bother trying to rebuild it, just replace it.
#2402 of 2457 REPLACING MY REAR HUB ASSEMBLY by jeddry Oct 15, 2008 (7:24 am)
Guys,   I just found out that my left rear hub assembly needs to be replaced. I have changed my front ones, is the rear ones harder? Any information or advise would be great.   Thanks again!!
