I've been struggling to sort out the ABS in my 1998 K2500 since I bought it. At this point I'm stumped. Current situation is as follows:
My current guesses:
- Speedo works fine.
- ABS light and C0236 code are triggered as soon as brakes are applied after moving (<20mph).
- ABS does not function and rear wheels lock up under "panic stop" braking.
- Reluctor wheel is visually present inside of transfer case (unsure of tooth count).
- 1A Auto speed sensor is brand new and assumed to be functional.
- Both wires show continuity from speed sensor connector to PCM connector.
- Clearing codes and leaving battery disconnected for 20min seems to do nothing.
My current guesses:
- Could the PCM be malfunctioning? Previous owner had Black Bear re-flash it for a cam swap.
- Are both the old and the new speed sensors defective?
- Could the sensors be too far from the reluctor ring somehow and not getting a proper reading?
- Is there another component that could be defective and trigger a code C0236?
