This is usually due to a speed sensor at one of the wheels. Your dealer will need to diagnois this.Generally not a safety concern but have it checked to be sure.
ABS I took out the fuse under hood till I got mine fixed. I replaced the hub that had the sensor in it and have not had a problem. The fuse just disables antilock feature.
When pushing piston back in on ABS, Fluid must be bled off, rather than pushing fluid back thru system in non ABS systems. Dirty fluid pushed back thru Abs system will probably cost you $1500 - 2K. Light will probably be on. You'll have brakes, but ABS light may indicate U have no ABS. I have changed brakes on ABS systems for years and never opened the bleeder to push the piston back in and have never got a ABS light by doing it this way.
got a sti jap import the abs light is on what do i look for to sort it
If no air got into the abs hcu then bleeding the brakes is done just as it would be on other vehicles. If air did get into the hcu or if you disconnected any brake like at the master cylinder or hcu then you will need to take it to a ford dealership to have them bleed the hcu and brakes for you.
If it is an older car without ABS the brakes would lock up and the car would slide/push/unable to steer, unless you got on/off the brakes. With ABS the computer would pulse the brakes and would prevent lock up so you would be able to steer.
The failure that the ABS computer detected needs to be repaired.
abs stands for antilock brake system. If the light is on, you have probably got a problem with one of your wheel speed sensors.
The light should not stay on. The light is staying on because there is a problem with the ABS system. As long as the light is on the ABS system is not functioning. You need to have it checked out if you expect the ABS system to work when you need it.
Hey Leigh==If it shakes when wyou applly the brakes, the front rotors or rear drums are warped and need to be turned. This can also cause the ABS light to come on . Good luckJoe I had this problem with my car and my dad got a hold of it and looked at the trans as it was having problems. He tightened the tail shaft and it hasn't done it since. I don't know if you have fixed your problem, but maybe that will help, I don't know. Good Luck Kenneth
ive got three ways that might help 1) see if it says abs on the brake pedal 2) check the owner's manual 3) find something that you can slide on such as ice snow or maybe gravel (not sure where you live) and slam the brakes if they lock up then you dont have abs.
Because I've got aftermarket calipers & they aren't abs compatable
The was 12 or 13 when he got abs
