Can a seized caliper cause ABS light?
So the short answer is YES, a sticking caliper could cause the ABS/Traction Control lights to come on.
How does anti lock brake system ( ABS ) work?
MotorWeek’s Pat Goss (RockAuto.com is a MotorWeek Sponsor) explains how anti-lock brake system (ABS) sensors and tone rings work and how to repair them. He also shows different types of brake fluid and recommends when to replace brake fluid. Loading…
What happens when the ABS fails on a car?
In certain cases, depending on the model of vehicle, when the ABS module fails, the brake pedal may become unresponsive. This is an obvious problem, as an unresponsive brake pedal will not stop a vehicle, or will not be able to do so in an adequately safe manner.
What kind of brake system does Windstar have?
Including the EBC410 adds Windstar vans from 1995 to 1999. These systems are three channel (except EBC410 – 4 channel) systems that use two position solenoid valves for pressure modulation, two low pressure accumulators and also incorporates a two-piston pump.
Where does the brake fluid go in an ABS system?
The brake fluid in the accumulator is used for providing power assist, pressure modulation during an ABS stop and in some systems to apply the rear brakes. The pump/motor is responsible for filling the accumulator and is controlled by a pressure switch.

How to diagnose and fix brake drag?
The easiest way to diagnose this is to remove the caliper from the rotor and turn the rotor. If the drag still is present, then the problem is internal with the bearings. At this point, replace as necessary and reinstall to the proper torque value and pre-load.

How to bleed anti lock braking systems ( ABS )?
Once the assembly is bled, install it back on the vehicle and bleed the system out using the following steps: The sequence on most of the FWD models using the Delco VI is RR,LR,RF,LF. Bleed the system using the appropriate sequence. Once the wheels are bled bleed the modulator.
