Abs

hey folks, my ABS break light came on while i was driving lastnight and it really helped. Thing is now when i drive its still lit up so its prolly still engaged.. Thing is how do you disengage it? or will it go away? its been on for about 2days now.

usually if a sensor gets dirty it will trigger the light.

try washing ure car , that fixed my problem.

sensors are very sensitive. but agian t can be a real problem, go intoa shop and have them look at it.

I advise you to take your car into the dealership ASAP. There is something malfunctioning (mostly the sensors), lol how much is a new ABS sensor... pricey?.

did you hit something?
Try washing it first, don't go to the dealer all the time, they charge $100 just to look at it, even thou there are no problem with your car.

Take the wheels off and look at all the sensors and wirings first, it could be damaged. If you can't find any problem, then take it to a shop.

Look for a wire that goes to your hub and follow it....there will be a sensor by your hub bolted to the back of it....use ABS-safe brake cleaner (from C/T), and spray liberally on all the sensors (1 on each wheel). Drive around and see if the light goes out. Also check to see if all the wiring is good, ie. there is no serious damage.
