Question on 01 Bravada NV136 trigger
I may have missed this in my search, but on my 01 Bravda, what triggers the NV136 case to transfer power to the front wheels. I know it detects wheel slippage but is that through the antilock brake system or another system that detects the whee slippage?
The reason I ask is I'm starting to deal with a rather annoying ABS light going on and off and want to ensure that as the winter creeps up that I will still have my AWD.

The NV136, NV236, and the ABS, all share wheel and vehicle speed sensor data. If there is a problem with any of the 3 sensors, none of the systems will work. If/when a problem is detected with any of the sensors, the EBCM will set a DTC in memory and illuminate the ABS light. You will need a scan tool capable of accessing the ABS to retrieve the DTC and diagnose the problem.

Thanks for the heads up....was unaware of that. What's funny is its on for 20-30 seconds sometimes at a stop and then goes out. I'll get the codes read.

If the light is coming on, there might be a poor connection, (broken or breaking wire, etc) at or near a front wheel speed sensor. The codes will tell what circuit is experiencing a malfunction. Keep in mind that DTC's never tell you to replace a part, they tell you what circuit was or is out of range.

Just to close down this thread, but I got the wheel bearing replaced and now my ABS issue (chattering and random ABS light at some stops and turns) is totally gone. I did check out the old bearing and sensor but didn't see anything like a broken wire, but it could have been in the wrapped area or something I didn't see.
In any case, resolved!!!!
