Once vehicle is started, the ABS, BRAKE, & air bag sensor lights stay on and the blower fan will not operate. If the vehicle is started via remote start then the lights stay off and the blower fan will function. As soon as the brake pedal is pushed the sensor lights illuminate and the blower fan shuts off and stays off until this process is repeated again by starting remotely. I have had a few occasions where by tilting the steering column I can get the lights to shut off and the blower fan to operate. Assuming it is some sort of short in the electrical system. I can manually disable the remote starter but it does not change anything. I was thinking maybe it was in the remote starter module. I have traced wires throughout the steering assembly and under the dash through the fire wall as best I can visually check. Found a blown back up light fuse, a melted fuse under the dash for power wire to where, not sure?

most likiely is a wheel speed sensor for the abs system that hasf ailed

I think its only by happenstance that the smoke came out of the column at the moment you tried to start the car while it was running.
If you took apart the steering column I am sure you already have noticed that there are a billion wires, and doodads in there. Any one of those could have burnt and you wouldn't be able to tel right away by looking at them. The smoke is usually an indicator that your ignition has burnt up, but it could also have been a fused link, a wire you happen to miss during inspection, or any number of control switches inside the column. I would recommend taking it to a shop and putting it on a computer.

Yes they do but I would rather think you have a bad battery cabe connection to the system, sometimes the battery cable corrudes and you can't see it try replacing the cable ends and the connector ends espically if they are by the battery.

My 2003 dodge caravan would not start after driving about 1/2 hour. I stopped for coffee and when got back in to start it started I switched gears and it stalled. I tried to start again switched gears then it started but only for 2 sec. No clicking, no cranking sound just would not start but battery functions were great. Spent 2 days with a mechanic who could not resolve so sent to Dodge. After a day of putting wires back and checking out the problem they said it was the computer. Said that it was bad and could be replaced at no charge due to malfunction. Yes, it worked fine afterwards no more problems. They also said that some of the computers are found to be defective like this one so I hope this helps you in the right choice to have the dealer check it out if you are unable to get a computer reading and there is no obvious short in the system. Free sounded very good but as you know there is no such thing as really free as they got me for other things $350 worth. ouch!

The ABS works according to what the speed sensor tells it. The sensor may be bad or it senses a broken tooth on the tone wheel (the sensor reads these teeth on the tone wheel, found in the hub).
You will still have Brakes, but not the ABS. You can switch the sensors from the good side to the bad to see if it is in fact the sensor itself. Good luck!
Whenever
this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating
that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of
lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected
a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM,
SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must
now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and
"scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the
problem(s)
