An ABS code reader is a device to plug into an automobile computer. The vehicle computer will then diagnose problems and print the error codes on the screen if anything is wrong with the engine or other controls.

What causes the e-brake light and ABS light to come on suddenly and to stay on even though reset in a 1999 Dodge Ram?

AnswerYou'll need to find a code scanner that can read ABS codes. ABS code readers are not generally available to the public. It's probably a bad sensor, actuator or connector, but you can't possibly know what's wrong without the ABS code scanner. It is a bad wheel sensor.I had one on mine same problemMy brake light came on and my local mechanic had a Snap On code reader that could read the ABS codes. Cheaper then the Dodge Dealer.


If you have a permanent abs light on how would you diagnostic the problem to remove it?

You will need to find a code reader that can display the ABS codes. Once you find out which component is faulty, replacing it shouldn't be too difficult, but some ABS parts get real expensive. For those you should really consider recycled auto parts.
