Default "Autolock"

A friend of mine has a 1989 Vette and has had it since new. A warning light just came on and says "Autolock". Took the car to the dealer for servicing and the dealership doesn't know what the "Autolock" is either. Any information I will pass along. :flag

"Anti-Lock" is the light that refers to a malfuntioning abs system component. ;)

:iagree: and on an 89 you cant pull any codes, because the ABS has its own computer behind the drivers seat in the hatch. Check fuses, clean all connections, remove and clean all wheel sensors, if no joy try a dealer with a scan tool to identify the problem. The parts are too expensive to do trial and error swap-outs.

1) Check the brake fluid level. If it's low either there is a leak or new pads are called for. This would be a good time to flush the brake fluid.

2) Find a new dealer.
