ABS light on

[jpimaging817]

Quick question here guys.

I have a ABS light on in the Stang... it has slotted and drilled rotors on the front and back....and everything looks fine.....

Any Ideas?

could be a bad abs sensor. Pull the codes.

I previously did some research on this and was told that if the light comes on after you've driven some, then it's a bad sensor. That, or your tires sizes are different and the system is freaking out. Supposedly if your module is bad the light is on right when the car is started(my problem). I'm assuming this could also be due to a bad fuse or connection also, but i'm not sure. Don't quote me on all that, but that's what i've heard.

Mine actually has no codes on my cheap little scanner. and it is off when the car starts, but the second you hit the brakes....its comes on.....

is it the ABS light or the BRAKE light?
If it's the brake light then your fluid might be low.

its definitely the ABS light...after driving it around a little bit, it seems that the ABS kicks in at the most random and stupidest of times.....like slowly stopping from 5mph to 0mph

yours too....mine started doing that right after I put 17x9's on my car. It stays on 24/7 now.....I tested it one day by smashing on the brakes at 30mph and they locked up all over the place on and off.....get a new sensor

Look at the ABS sensors for any metal particals stuck to them.Like Saint said it's prob a sensor though.

Before spending money on a new sensor, try cleaning them with brake kleen. It could just be that the sensors are gummed up. FWIW, my ABS sensor is always on as well. Brakes work just fine

mine only comes on over 55 it seems after awhile, but brakes work just fine. Kinda odd....

found out what the problem was it is the tooth sensing ring on the passenger rear tire. 30 bucks to replace it. Had to pull the axle out though.....all fixed now though
