ABS and Cruise
I have an ABS light on and no cruise. Dealer says come on down and we'll check it out.
I don't see a grat deal on this problem on Forum so I suspect not too many problems with this out ther?
Would like to get some feedback from you guys before I visit Dealer.
Thanks

RE: ABS and Cruise
Just went through the same problem on my 98, ABS light, Brake light illuminated, no cruise. After doing some troubleshooting It ended up being the anti lock brake speed sensor. Cost me about 54.00 at car quest.

Maybe this will help too...
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS TEST
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors critical input and output circuits of the speed control system making sure they are operational. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and output circuit monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system. Some circuits are checked continuously and some are checked only under certain conditions.
If the OBD system senses that a monitored circuit is bad, it will put a DTC into electronic memory. The DTC will stay in electronic memory as long as the circuit continues to be bad. The PCM is programmed to clear the memory after 50 engine starts if the problem does not occur again.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) are two-digit numbers flashed on the Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine) Lamp that identify which circuit is bad. A DTC description can also be read using the DRB scan tool. Refer to Emission Control System for more DTC information.
A DTC does not identify which component in a circuit is bad. Thus, a DTC should be treated as a symptom, not as the cause for the problem. In some cases, because of the design of the diagnostic test procedure, a DTC can be the reason for another DTC to be set. Therefore, it is important that the test procedures be followed in sequence, to understand what caused a DTC to be set.
Refer to the following Speed Control Diagnostic Trouble Code chart for DTC's which apply to the speed control system. Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual to diagnose an on-board diagnostic system trouble code.
RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
To start this function, cycle the ignition switch ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON within 5 seconds. This will cause any DTC stored in the PCM memory to be displayed. The instrument panel mounted malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp will display a DTC by flashing on and off. There is a short pause between flashes and a longer pause between digits. All DTC's displayed are two-digit numbers, with an approximate four-second pause between codes.
An example of a DTC is as follows:
Lamp on for 2 seconds, then turns off.
Lamp flashes 1 time pauses and then flashes 5 times.
Lamp pauses for 4 seconds, flashes 3 times, pauses, then flashes 4 times.
The two DTC's are 15 and 34. Any number of DTC's can be displayed, as long as they are in memory. The lamp will flash until all stored DTC's are displayed. A DTC code number 55 signifies the end of tests.
If a DTC number 15 or 34 is observed, refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual. Correct any problems found in your diagnosis, then recheck for a DTC after corrections are completed. Use the DRB scan tool to erase a DTC after repair
SPEED CONTROL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Diagnostic Trouble Code DRB Scan Tool Display Description of Diagnostic Trouble Code
15** No Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal No vehicle distance (speed) sensor signal detected during road load conditions.
34* Speed Control Solenoid Circuits An open or shorted condition detected in the Speed Control vacuum or vent solenoid circuits.
55* N/A Completion of fault code display on Check Engine Lamp.
* Check Engine Lamp will not illuminate at all times if this Diagnostic Trouble Code was recorded. Cycle ignition key as described in manual and observe code flashed by Check Engine Lamp.
** Check Engine Lamp will illuminate during engine operation if this Diagnostic Trouble Code was recorded.
