Abs issue 2000, c5 corvette no codes

MY ABS IS NOT THROWING ANY CODES.

WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS HARD, THE PEDAL JUST LETS OFF A SMALL VIBRATION BUT DOES NOT PUSH BACK LIKE WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. aS I SAID, NO DIC CODES SO WHAT IS HAPPENING- THANKS

in the rain, and you look up only to see cars stopped 100 feet away, you may be inclined to mash the pedal, HARD! If you hit a patch of gravel while trying to stop for a red light, on a dry surface, the pedal effort would probably be considerably different, as are the 2 surfaces and conditions. Just saying. BTW, does your DIC flash "ABS active", and/or the skidding yellow Corvette on the IPC light up? With no codes, I would think you're OK.......

Yes it shows abs light. So in light of your comment, I stepped hard on the gas pedal on a wet road and still only got a slight vibration, and almost lost control of the car as the abs did not seem to work as designed. That is the best I can explaine it. Thx

I hope your ABS issue is fixable. I have been told it's a good idea to take the car out once in awhile in the rain, or while the streets are still wet and somewhat slippery, to exercise the EBCM. I also own a 2000 Vert, and we 1997-2000 owners didn't get dealt the best hand when it comes to EBCM and the SWPS!!! Good luck....
