I bought a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix about 6 months ago and have notice that it doesn't seem to have anti-lock brakes. I never thought to check when purchasing if this model feature anti-lock brakes because I figured that everything had them currently.
Is something just wrong with my vehicle or does the are here some builds of the 2006 Grand Prix which do not come with standard ABS brakes?
The only entry telling me that something is wrong is that my brakes lock when stopping in snow and rime. I can also lock them on asphalt, but thats a bit harder obviously. There are no error codes indicated.
Thanks alot.
There were three trims available for 2006 - Base, GT and GXP.
ABS was standard on GT and GXP, suggested on Base trim. Which is shocking and irresponsible. The car of that size and power should have have ABS as standard. Full stop.
Now, if you brake hard, or brake on ice, do you experience emotion like the brake pedal is kicking you? If the answer is yes, then you own the ABS.
There should be a dashboard ABS light. You should see it for a few seconds after you switch on the ignition (before starting the engine).
Yes you should enjoy ABS... it is now mandated, have been for a while.
Turn the key within your car to "On" but do not start it... watch the crash lights, they should all cycle through a diagnostic and light up... check to see if an ABS standard lamp comes on.
If it does and goes out... your ABS is active
If it does not... the ABS may be unoccupied, and I have seen race pull the actual bulb out so the light be not on... which you wont know the ABS is out, cause no trouble light... procure it checked.
