the sensor is not always bad to cause the light to come on. Most of the time the abs sensor gets alot of brake dust, mud, rust, and other forms dirt on them you just need to clean the sensor with a blow gun or brake clean the sensor is usually located by the tire

Why does the park brake light come on in a 2006 dodge ram?

The red brake light comes on when the p brake is set, the switch for the p brake is faulty, the brake fluid level is low, or the brake fluid level switch is faulty. If the abs light is also on, you will have codes in the abs computer too for an electrical failure of a sensor or switch..


How do you turn off the break sensor light on a 2000 ford ranger?

In your gauge cluster there is a brake light which lights up if the emergency (parking) brake is engaged or if the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder is low ( in your engine compartment) Also there is an ABS brake warning light that comes on if something is wrong with the ABS braking system - fuse , sensor , wiring connection etc. If it's anything more than releasing your parking brake , get it checked by a professional.

That Could be 1 of 2 things, ABS module or ABS wheel sensor. If it comes on when you start moving, it is most likely the ABS wheel sensor. If it does it all the time, most likely ABS module.
