Me Too

Model Years Affected: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998

Average Mileage: 181,000 mi (135,000 mi - 227,000 mi)

A failure in the anti-lock brake system (ABS) causes the ABS pump to continuously run, which will eventually wear down the battery. An improved ABS relay is available to solve the problem.
