Hi guys,

Can anybody give me a tip or two. I recently had a good brake system repair where brake pads, hoses, master cylinder and a couple of calipers replaced. All of these things I did so that the ABS light would turn off. And it did but only for a few weeks. Mechanic said it was my speed sensors that needs replacement. I got a used set from ebay and replaced it but the light will not go off.

What else can it be ??? Help please

TIA

If the ABS light only comes on after you start driving, the problem is unlikely to be the OVP relay. If the light comes on and stays on as soon as you star the car, as above, check the fuse on the OVP and if the fuse is good, replace the OVP. If you still have the ABS light after replacing the OVP (either at startup or after driving), it is likely you have a bad wheel sensor. Check the connectors on each of the the sensors for corrosion or looseness. Measure the resistance of each sensor at the connector - they should be on the order of 100 ohms. If it has a very high or infinite resistance, or If it has near zero resistance, the sensor is bad. Lastly, you may have a failed ABS control unit, but that is a diagnosis of exclusion.

If the light comes on before you begin driving, it is probably the power suppy module. I had your same problem and after replacing the sensors,fuses,etc., the problem turned out to be the power supply module to the ABS system. The test is if the light goes on as soon as you turn on the ignition and stays on. Good luck.
