Chevrolet Astro ABS slipping during normal braking without warning light on Chevrolet Astro

Problem overview

Some vehicle owners report experiencing ABS slipping during normal braking without any warning light illuminating. This issue can stem from a faulty ABS wheel speed sensor, which may disrupt the system's operation without triggering alerts. Additionally, a defective brake light switch could also contribute to these ABS problems. Some owners have identified issues with the ABS module or pump, which can cause similar slipping during braking. Poor ground connections have also been noted as a potential factor leading to these ABS complications. In newer models, a malfunction in the ABS system may disable the Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP), affecting rear hydraulic pressure and possibly causing rear lock-up while braking. It is recommended for owners experiencing these symptoms to have their ABS-related components thoroughly inspected to ensure safe braking performance.
