Sometimes the ABS light will come on if there is too much build up on the sensors. I had that happen to me and I pulled off the tires, blew out the sensors and presto.... The light went off.....

I assume the ABS senors are near the brake pads? Perhaps I can just give it a good wash?! Thank you for your reply Eli.

Actually a good wash isn't going to be enough, it would be best to pull off the fronts and clean them out with some carb cleaner...

That's what did the trick for me.... Try the fronts, it that does it you can stop there......

Eli, Would you please tell me where is the ABS sensors located at? Near the pads or the Discs? Same as the front and the back? What should I be looking for... a button or a gear/wheel? You can tell how much I know about the brake system?!

Thanks,

Cecil

Speed sensor it located on the wheel carrier. Some people refer to it as the hub whick is what your x-drilled rotor is mounted on. It will have a wire sticking out and is a round shaped item.

Hope that helps,

Thank you Eli, cleaned the front sensors, but the ABS light is still on, I'll try to locate the rear ABS sensor tomorrow... if any? Clean the Mass air flow senor with some electronic cleaner, plug it back but the the eng svc light still on. I might need an Diagnostic Scan Tool to clear the code!@$%

Project after project... I attempt to install a short shifter kit tomorrow. Let see how it turn out!

Cecil

Just wondering how the SS install went....
