Default ABS Light Help

Hey Guys,

So I have a question for you…When I start up my car in the morning the ABS light comes on with the good ol message in the dash that says “Service Car Soon” the steering gets stiffer but it’s still drivable . I had the car diagnosed at my local Chevy dealer and they said the EBCM needed to be replaced. The only problem to that is that it only happens in the morning or when the car is cold. After I drive it for IDK say 10-15 minutes the light goes off and the steering gets back to normal. The rest of the day the car is fine until the next morning. My thought is that if the computer needed to be replaced it would do that in every start cycle and not just in the morning or when it’s cold…Any thoughts?

See my response in your other thread. It makes it easier to help if you only have one thread. Let me know which thread you will be posting in.
