Chevrolet Repair: Chevy Venture, dielectric grease, chevy venture


Question
I used to have a 1998 Venture & currenlty have a 2003 Venture.  I found with the 98 Venture when it was damp or wet outside that my various warning lights would come on.  They would stay on until the weather dried up.  Now with my 03 Venture, I'm wondering if the same thing is happening.  I have had the van since '05 & the first time the ABS light & t/c lights came on was last winter.  It was still on warranty.  I took it in & there was a problem with the t/c (I had it in twice last year).  No problems since.  Now it is off warranty & just last week the lights came on when we had heavy snow. I pulled over & shut the van off.  The lights were off when I restarted, but came on again a short distance later.  I tried my ABS & t/c & had neither when the lights were on. They went off in a couple of days, but have come on again (about 10 days later).  It is melting & wet on the roads.  I really don't want to take my van in & them tell me that it is the humidity.  Is this a problem with Ventures?

Answer
Yes,  the wires to the wheel speed sensors and plugs get water intrusion and cause faulty wheel speed sensor readings to the EBCM.  You could have a technician remove and clean the plugs and put in some dielectric grease.  This might keep out the water.
