Known issues on the 1997 Seville. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers fuel delivery: nylon fuel rail and return line tubing can degrade and crack, and a resulting leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. The second covers the antilock/traction control system: the electronic brake control module can cause the ABS to cycle during a non-ABS brake application, increasing stopping distance and the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 105 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're tracing a fuel line for cracks or diagnosing an ABS module that's cycling on its own, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1997 Seville.

FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
