ABS Light / False ABS cycling.

Anybody run into this one and know the fix? Guess I'll start by cleaning and reseating connectors. Love to hear from those of you who have already solved this one. Good times

Paul

You need to identify whether you have RABS or 4WABS. If 4WABS, you will need to find a shop to have it scanned.

It's problably a speed sensor. use a scanner to see which sensor is loosing signal on decel. Is it an unwanted ABS event under 15 mph?? The sensor has rust built up under it's seat and it's pulled away from the reluctor wheel. Pull the sensor(be careful they break easily...) and sand the rust off and put the sensor back in.
