ABS Light came on
Question:
Thanks, The next day when I cranked it up, the light was off and has been off ever since. We had a lot of snow and ice here. Could that have caused the problem? Mark McCoy www.mccoysmarket.com
Response:
Which sensor is the ABS sensor?? Sounds like you had a problem with a wheel speed sensor….. These systems aren’t as simple as you thimk they are. If they were, I’d be out of a job…. Not you in particular, but it amuses me to look at an electronics ‘experts’ VCR and see that it is always "12 o’clock – 12 o’clock – 12 o’cloc…"

Response:
Before you panic, check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. Next try washing out the area of the front wheel hubs with a high pressure washer. Then check the rear sensor (in the rear axle). Diconnect it and check for continuity. Regards, Ed White
