My 75 year old friend wants to give you a kiss. After all the work he did, the light came on. Thankfully I googled it and found your video. Not even a blown fuse, just resetting it cleared the lights that he was worried about.

The most common problem is magnetic trash at the wheel sensor. Very simple fix - disconnect the wheel sensor at the brake. It is nothing but a magnet that moves as a cogwheel rotates with the wheel. Spray it with brake cleaner and reinstall. You don't need to change the sensor. The magnetic particles collect on the sensor when you drive in high water or wet conditions.

Great video and helpful, one small additional bit of information. Not all cars are four wheel ABS, some are only two wheel abs. it’s very helpful when you’re going to ask for a price and availability if you know what your car is equipped with.

Just info - some vehicles have the reluctor as part of the wheel bearing. In this case the new bearing has to be oriented correctly or you're back to where you started - no ABS.

actually helpful! thank you so much. my cables been eaten up and two cables were kissing each other. once i wrapped them up individually, the abs light went away!

Great video shows you how to diagnose and it doesn’t lead to just one problem but it shows you other factors that can cause the ABS light to come on 👏🏼

Very good informational video for the specific problem, thank you. Pretty sad people are mocking the video just because they don't have the obvious requirements you need in this type of maintenance. Neither do I but now that I have the knowledge I can safely inspect and question the mechanics who do have the equipment to use.

Another problem could be GROUNDING cables between the battery, and body, to engine, points. On Ford products these cables become corroded, or rusty. This causes poor grounding. Many other Ford vehicles have similar problems. Their bare metal woven ground cables corrode to the point of breaking. On my 2008 MKZ the Check Brake System light would come on as I drove out of my driveway. I checked fuses, and other pieces. Upon inspection of the two cables, one from battery, to shock tower, and another cable from engine, to the other shock tower were dirty, and loose. Using a jumper wire from the engine to shock tower mount, the problem was solved. Later, replacing the small bolts that attach the cables, to the body, and tapping the holes for, slightly larger, bolts, assured a much better connection.

Great video, one question, all the abs sensors are check in ac current? Or there are others types of sensors that are check in dc current? Please let me know, thank you and cheers from Ontario ca,

Thank You, I subscribed! I changed the fuse, and will drive it in my driveway to check it.

Hi on my Holden Astra 2002 there is ABS and traction control sign appears on dashboard. Even though I had changed its left wheel bearings and brake pads. When I apply brake and Stops the car at signal then if I accelerate the car it seems like tyres are jammed until it reaches the speed of 30-40. What I can do to fix things?
Thanks

Great guide. I have a 87 Ford Scorpio (Granada mk3) and these days a lot of the suspesnion parts will be replaced. Like brake discs, pads and wheel bearings. The ABS light comes on periodically, often its off at idle and comes on when reacing a certain speed. Any tips what could be wrong? Ill will probably check each sensor the way that is shown in the video, but first Ill check the fuse.

Reasonable, quick overview of ABS, without great detail. Thanks

@2CarPros flashed. The flash light its still on, but can I ask you what you believe the problem might be? I tried again to flash the big lights it happened again, ABS flashed and car reduced speed.. I would appreciate if you can give me your advice
