#11 of 13 Re: Brake problem with 98 Grand Marquis [omefrans] by rls2 Feb 04, 2008 (5:16 pm)
Replying to: omefrans (Oct 25, 2006 4:58 pm) Have the same problem. It is the traction control energizing inappropriatly. Our GM has been doing this off and on for several years - no one, even FORD can fix it. It spent several days at the dealer, hooked up to a computer and they fixed it for about a year - by nthen it was off warentee.   It now has over 200,000 miles on it and we will keep it foreveras o ur spare.   We bought a 2003 GM (and kept this one also) but that had a button to turn on or off the traction control.   Guess what I did to stop the problem   RLS

Replying to: phxaz602 (Mar 19, 2008 7:48 pm) Sounds like you have a problem with a wheel sensor or a toner ring. When you step on the brakes the computer looks at the sensor and toner rings at the wheels. The sensor could have a break in a wire or you could have a cracked toner ring giving your computer a false reading. That would tell your computer to engage the "Hold release apply cycle" which is the noise your hearing. I took my car to Meineke and they had it fixed in a day. The shop would need a good scanner and a good Tec. My does. So the first thing you need to do is get the car scanned by some one who knows how to interpret what he's reading.
