ABS Light comes on

[Hardcore Hoppy]

ok so it happened a few days ago but my anti lock brake light came on onto my dashboard and i don't think that it means that they arent working because I got cut off while the light was on and slammed on the breaks and they didn't lock up. anyone know?

It mines it is not working. Go to a shop and have them read the codes is the tcs light off too?

 

[Hardcore Hoppy]

yeah. when the abs light comes off it turns the traction control off

might be a bad wheel bearing.

speed sensor in the wheel hub assembly

and since it is all one assembly you will have to change the hub assembly. You will still have to take it in so they can determine which one it is.

Right on the money here. A few people have had the problem and I have it for over a year. I just haven't gotten around to getting it fixed.

I had this problem a year ago and I thought it was the speed sensor.. It turned out it was the actual PCM. I had to get it replaced and I must say that cost about $2500 including labor and after hard work to find one..
I hope this is not the case for you, but just a heads up.
I must say thought that when that happened, I got so many errors on the information center some of which were traction control off, stability control off, variable effort steering off.... and the steering actually became alot "heavier."
Now this is happening again but without the variable effort steering part. Just the ABS and TC and stability control. I have to turn the car off and then back on. This time I am HOPING and PRAYING that its the sensor :th_wtf:
