Its unlikely.
the more likely cause is a brake hose collapsed/split internally, after the brakes are applied the internal split is pushed back by the returning brake fluid causing a blockage in the line preventing the caliper piston from backing off the rotor.
antilock brakes could lock up on any vehicle for various reasons. for ex, a wheel sensor/trigger wheel is dirty(mud) and the sensor can pick up the signal, the computer will not activate the antilock feature.if the antilock light is lighted on the dash the wheels will lock.
There are a couple of things that can cause your Pontiac antilock brakes to lock up. The most common cause is a malfunctioning ABS sensor.
I'm having the same problem on my 96 Ford Taurus. I just heard that a sensor could have been unplugged causing the brakes to lock up and the light to come on. Or the sensor could be damaged. My tires will turn 3/4 of a turn and then lock up on the other 1/4 of a turn. I'll find out soon, taking it apart in a few minutes. Good luck.
If the rear brakes are drum brakes, then there could be a leaky wheel cylinder. The wetness inside the drum will cover all the brake shoes and parts and cause the wheel to lock up when applied. The build of pressure could be due to the wheel cylinder leaking and causing a pressure loss, but rising when the brakes are applied or pumped up. This may/may not be your case, but definitely worth checking the rears.
Please clarify your question.
The brake shoes may be out of adjustment causing the shoes to contact the drums prematurely. You could have a proportiong valve issue, but try adjusting the rear brakes first.
For the sensor of the anti lock brakes? Runs down to the brake caliper?
Anti lock brakes contain a spin sensor in each wheel.When the sensor detects that brakes are still applied and the wheels are skidding a valve opens and lowers the brake pad pressure until wheel spin is detected again. This process is repeated until the car comes to a halt in the shortest distance. The repetition rate of valve operation can be up to 30 times a second.
If the Anti-lock Brake System ( ABS ) warning light is on , a problem has been detected with the Anti-lock Brake System It could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem As long as the red " BRAKE " light in your dash is not on you still have " normal " brakes
Be pointless. The point of anti-lock brakes it to effectively "pump" the brakes for you.
Could the master cylinder be causing the issue.
Most likely you do not have anti-lock brakes in your vehicle. Other possible answer is that your anti-lock brakes are malfunctioning. If you have anti-lock brakes you should see a mechanic as soon as possible.
