Your VVT has ZERO to so with the ABS. Timing chain/belt has ZERO to do with it. Scan the abs module and find which wheel is having a problem.

 

Actually an ABS problem can be resolved with replacing the VVT solenoids, the failed solenoid turns on TC and ABS light , a P0014 triggered mine

 

Jaksback,
I'm not sure where you are doing your research but, ALL Ecotech engines have timing chains.
As for the amount of time to change,
how good of a mechanic are you?
Mine took 2 days but I'm 67 and was in no hurry to get it done.

 

will the CEL come on and stay on with this code? Will this code show on a regular obdii reader?

next stupid question how difficult/involved is changing a vvt solenoid?

is this video a good/accurate video for doing my vvt replacement?

 

I'm mechanically inclined but lacking good location, time and no other vehicle to drive scares me that I couldn't get it done in a timely manner to go to work the next day. So I may have to have a shop do it, damn!

I did my search on chain or belt but I guess since I have a metal cover it's a chain according to what info it gives

 

GoOgle lies! Ecotec engines have timing CHAINS.
True the timing and VVT have nothing to do with ABS and traction. But, if either malfunctions the computer turns ABS and traction OFF resulting in the warning lights.

 

VVT solenoids have one 10mm bolt each careful with the electrical connections.

 

again I ask, will the CEL come on as well?

 

On the video i showed above they said the intake vvt solenoid was a 10mm ans the exhaust was an 8mm. It doesn't matter either way, the intake vvt solenoid is on the forward side and exhaust vvt solenoid is closest to the back firewall...does this sound correct?
