got everything back together, brakes work great, but still got the ABS light on. i read in my chiltons cd disc,that to diagnos the abs,i need and "obd II" scanner. i went to my local auto store, they said they could test it,but when they did,it showed no errors. not wanting to replace all my sensors for no reason,i decided to read online for other people with similar issues.only thing i have read so far ,that may help me,is a forum where someone said that not all scanners can diagnos the abs system,and most likely would have to go to a dealer. anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? by the way,i did tear open my rear brakes and inspected everything,and it was fine,and after reading my chilton cd,i discovered the sensor for the rear wheels is on the rear of the transmission,i think i found it as well, and wires seemed ok.
what now? will the dealer ship charge me a fortune just to hook up the scanner to diagnos what part of the abs is failing? was the local auto stores scanner just junk or cheap?
any help would be nice. thanks

I am not as well versed in brakes but recently after a severe rain storm my ABS light came on and stayed on. Also at the same time my battery light blinked on and off intermediately. After shutting the car off the lights went out, however after driving about 5 miles the ABS light came back on and stayed on , but not the battery light. Don't want to get ripped at a dealer, and was thinking this could be a sensor problem as well since the battery light also made an appearance. Car has 98,000 miles but really have not had any other problems. Any advise anyone?
:sick:
just for chits and giggles, i decided to go to the local power wash, and soak the hell pout of my front wheels. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED ???? THE ABS LIGHT WENT OUT!. im going to drive it a few days and see whats up, but if it comes on again,im either going to find the right computer scanner to tell me what sensor it is,or find a dealer that will test it cheap.
i think the corrosion, and or debris,and or the water has damaged my sensor. i will get back to you if i find out more, or if you find a cheap way to get the computer diagnosed, let me know.
thanks .... allenx1966@aol.com

One more thing where is it i can not seem to find it ?
My brakes work 100%. I replaced my vacuum booster last weekend because my RPMs increased when I stepped on the brake. I reset the ABS after I was done, but it came back on as soon as I went down the road.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance
Brake warning light came on, brake res. a little low, brake petal a little soft & low. bought truck used at 30k and no brake work.
Will warning light come on with pads low? not making noise or pulling, driving spareingly for next two-three weeks when I can get it worked on.
Step on your Emergency brake light - and see it it get's brighter ?? I've heard that the break warning light will com on when the emergency brake is on - AND - it will light at "partial" brightness when the computer sees a problem with the Brakes as well (i.e. ABS sensor). If what I heard is correct - it may be a wheel sensor needs replacement or adjustment ...
Please let us know what the actual fix is ???

However, no one can guess at what may be causing the light to come on without at least knowing what code is stored. Go by AutoZone and get the code or codes read and come back and post and someone should be able to offer a bit more guidance.
Until...last week after a wet and salty snowstorm the check engine light came on and the truck idled a little rough. My neighbour put his code scanner on it and we got a P0300 and P0131 code. P0300 os "random misfire" and P0131 is "Bank 1 sensor 1 low voltage". I changed the driver's side front O2 sensor, intalled a new cap and rotor and spark plugs and cleared the codes. The truck ran perfectly for one day and then the Check engine light came back on and the truck started running roughly. I checked the codes again and the P0300 code is set with a second P0300 pending.
I read that the EGR valve can stick and cause these problems. Here's the dumb question...Where is the EGR valve? I have ordered a service manual but it's not here yet.
Get back in the truck, and go flat out full throttle over the cliff.

Hope this helps, and its not a dirty injector or valvetrain issue
