Good morning Ray, thank you for this. We do our best to give the DIY community all the help we can, many more helpful videos to come! Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club.
Magnificent video and magnificent edition; Thank you for bringing to light an issue that for me was unknown, till today that the Light of the ABS was set on my car's dashboard. Blessings 🙏
Good morning. ☕️ Great to hear our video was helpful, and you are very welcome. Thank you for being kind enough to share this comment. Hope you have a great weekend. 😎👍
Thank you so much. This is my current situation with my Chevy Equinox 2016 that happened today. I panicked and rushed to a local repair shop for a diagnostic and got a quote for $800 to replace the ABS module 🥲🥲. My heart dropped from that shocker. So I resorted to Googling the issue and your RUclips video popped up for the reset trick so I will definitely try that in the morning. If not, I will refer back to this specific video for additional help. Thank you tons. I will post an updated comment if all is successful either way.🙏🏾

Overall good video, only one point that I have issue with. The two block fuses are not dealer only and can be purchased at most parts stores and even most Wal-Marts in the automotive section.
Great presentation. The control circuits on these ABS systems are typically low voltage, low amperage, which means you need to check the ABS Module grounds after you check the fuses, or check the separate voltage values either at the wheels yourself, or the voltages coming into the ABS module while a second person helps you by spinning each separate wheel one-at-a-time, but at a uniform rate. As I understand these systems, the interaction between magnetic part of the sensor assembly and the notches in the rotating wheel on the hub assembly generates the voltage measured as the wheel turns. Trucks are usually exposed to harsher conditions than cars, and exposure of the wheel sensors and connectors to water, sea water at the beach, salted roads, etc. over the years can result in degraded sensors at the wheels, or poor or corroded grounds or bad connections where the system wires connect to the push-on or screw-on connectors. Any of these issues can cause voltage variations that prevent the ABS system from knowing whether or not all 4 wheels are rotating at substantially the same speed, and if the signals aren't the same, the ABS light comes on. The profit margin between replacing the ABS Module and the sensors and sensor wiring on 4 wheels and bleeding or replacing the brake fluid is about $1,000 to 1,500 more than doing the checks he recommended, plus checking the grounds. The ABS module can be replaced with a new one, if necessary, without replacing the valves it is attached to, but it is likely it will have to be re-programmed for your specific vehicle. Programming Specs are often available online, but require special equipment. The alternative is sending a defective ABS module to a specialty shop which can repair the old one, and do any required programming. Costs vary, but usually much cheaper than having a new one programmed and installed - unless you have a shop that does this locally, it can take about ten days to send it and get it back, due to shipping times. P.S. The white illuminated board you have behind you in your videos is interesting, but it leaves your face in the shadows. Viewers like to see faces; something for you to consider.

I have a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500, 3.7 Engine V6 w/only 74,000 miles bought it brand new. About 16 months ago, the ABS light came on the Dashboard, thought it was the rear sensors, I changed out both, but the ABS Light did not go out. So I took it to back to the Dealer where I had bought the truck way back then. So the issue was the ABS Modulator, had it replace cost about $1,800.00 Drove really good for about 18 months, and last month the ABS Light came back on again, now I am not a mechanic, and am not mechanically incline. Just a few basics, I went to several shops, they all told me the same thing, ABS Modulator w/code C-1073, again it was the ABS Modulator. Finally took back my truck to the Dealers, they said, ABS Modulators are no long made, but they are Re-manufactured, in other words rebuilt w/a 6 month Guarantee . So I paid about $800, and the Re-built ABS Modulator was installed and Re-program. All is well, but what I want to say is, I am keeping this truck till one of us goes up into the sky, either me or the truck. So this time that I had another ABS Modulator installed, I told the Dealership I wanted the ABS Modulator that was on the truck to be given back to me. And I got it back, and am sending it off to have it repaired. I will tell you why, because it is ALL READY PROGRAM for My Truck. The Cost to Re-built the ABS Modulator is only about $300 total, but those that are sold, are not Programed for the car or truck it is going in too. That's why Companies ask you for a Vin Number when inquiring for a ABS Modulator. Getting back the ABS Modulator may save me money down the line, but it is the Programing for my own truck that is most important to me.. So am back on the road, and Merry Christmas to all.
@@PaulGuerrero-d8o Good morning ☕️ Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. That’s a great idea asking for your Modulator back. Getting it rebuilt and also having it already programmed for your exact truck is “money in the bank”. Sounds like you take great care of your 2011 Ram, and that goes a long way in keeping the vehicle reliable and on the road. Reach out to us any time. Many more helpful videos to come. 🧰
@@PaulGuerrero-d8o I found another video where a guy points out the most common issues with the ABS Modulator. Most often, there's a couple pins that slowly work their way free of the solder and it takes just a few minutes to re-solder the connection. You might look into it next time this pops up!
Thanks for the excellent video. And I appreciate it when you guys tell us girls who can help out with free services like OBD scanner checks. Very cool.

Thanks for the info education on abs symptoms and possible causes creating abs light on dash. I'm trying to determine if the mechanic that told me my abs pump is failing is correct or not where as they said my coolant leak was coming from heater coil gear assembly but wasn't case and I paid $500 for that to be replaced and installed then that evening my abs light came on. I've bn spending money on repairing front suspension system. Have yet to replace engine mounts, brakes, and rear suspension as well as tires brakes and then eventually replace interior seating, steering wheel and center console gear shifter and compartment ..
Good morning, you are very welcome. ABS pump failure is not uncommon however if vehicle is less than 10 years old…it’s unlikely that the pump has failed. It may be as simple as a speed sensor however without hooking up OBD2 scanner, we can’t confidently say. Having a scanner will help pinpoint the exact part causing your issue.

2009 Dodge caliber 2.0 ABS light came on. Lifted front end up and ran it to 50 mph and listened for bad bearing. Sounded fine both sides. Checked each back tire and turned by hand and all seemed fine for noise. Grabbed each tire and wiggled and evrything seems tight. Asked my son about the tire pressure and found that all the tires were at 25 to 27 psi. Filled all tires to 33 psi and we took it for a run. Guess what the abs light went out. Completely surprised me. Check your air pressure of the tires first. It was a very simple fix............................................

Question. My 1992 LT1 Corvette , has a problem. For the life of me I cannot spin or smoke my tires. The emergency brake warning light is always on. So I checked The brake fluid which is full,I changed all four of the brake pads on the entire car and the light is still on I also checked the wheel sensors some of them had rust buildup on them but I cleaned them going back in so why the hell cant I spend the tires on a Corvette. What is the use of owning a Corvette if you can’t smoke the tires that’s my problem I’ve been building dragon jeans for my older cars but I can’t figure out the brake light is unbelievable but he’s got an idea what it is let me know because I don’t see nothing on RUclips about it I even called the dealership and they won’t tell me they want me to bring the car in to take my money that shit ain’t going to happen. When I bought this Corvette I didn’t even realize until I lifted the hood after I got home there’s a Optispark distributor what kind of crap is that what’s a matter with the old Style ones on top of the back of the engine.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. An OBD scanner can help pinpoint the exact part that is causing issues to your brake system. AutoZone will read your fault codes for 100% free.
Thank you, thank you and thank you for making the comments on having a secondary support for a jacked up vehicle. I see so many vids of people working under a vehicle with only one hydraulic support. Especially do not trust a hydraulic jack. My engineer dad and military training drilled this into me for years. It is a golden rule of working on heavy items. A set of jack stands is a cheap safegaurd and way cheaper than a hospital visit or a funeral.The video content on the troubleshooting was great.

Great video. Very clear and concise. I have a 2009 F 250 and my ABS light comes on intermittently. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern to it. The brakes are working fine without the ABS. I bought a Blue driver scanner and I’m getting code C1096 Pump Motor Open Circuit. I’m going to dive in on this next week, but was wondering if because it is intermittent, do you have any insights?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s try something. We recommend filling all four of your tires back up to its proper psi. See if this registers & runs off ABS light. Keep us posted. Enjoy your night! 😎👍🔧🔩

Brilliant bit of information. I had a passenger front sensor come up so it was replaced and one 15 minutes later after leaving the garage the ABS came on again and now it says the driver side rear sensor needs replacing. Could that be possible ? Or could it be the fuse or abs module ? Thanks
Most fuse / relay blocks have a fuse pulling / insertion tool tucked away somewhere. Hard tools can easily break the fuse. But a great, easy video to follow. Thanks
Much easier to use needle nose pliers, very carefully as stated. Those little tools don't always work they great - especially in tight quarters. Use what works best for you.

PERFECT video! My Mitsubishi outlander 2010 is recently showing ABS light issue. It is coming on and off on the dashboard. When it is on, then ACS off light turns on. The car is running well so far, no brake issue whatsoever with ABS light on. I have driven 5K+ miles with ABS light on. I got P1773 and C2116 codes. How serious is that?
@@dracony7649 Good morning ☕️ any update? It’s possible that the lighting for that indicator has burnt out however that is very uncommon and not likely the case. We recommend disconnecting the black negative cable from your battery and leaving disconnected for a minimum of five minutes. This will allow your system to perform a full electrical system reset. After five minutes, resecure black negative cable to battery and check electrical system by turning the key on, followed by starting the engine. This reset will hopefully remove any electrical glitches or malfunctions within the system and get your computer back to proper in normal configuration.
Hello & thanks for such great videos. I have a situation where my 2005 Colorado goes into "Reduced Power" and then shows the message "Traction Fault". Would you happen to know anything about this? I have gone to soo many places & dealers & they can't figure it out because they can't replicate the situation because it only happens randomly. So when it happens, I get stranded for a few minutes, I shut it off, wait a few minutes and then I'm able to get going again. Now the weirdest is that EVEY TIME this happens, my power locks stop working, so I have to disconnect the battery for a few minutes and everything works back to normal again.... any advise? It would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community. It could be an electrical issue. You may have a loose connection…we recommend inspecting any and all electrical connections and fuses related to ABS system as well as the Traction Control system. You might even have a part in its early stages of failure…which because of this…the part itself is working intermittently. Please keep us posted.

Can you tell if the magnetic ring should have magnets all around the ring? Because I replace the ABS sensor and watch that ring but it only had a few magnets... very good video by the way!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. This will depend on the vehicle however almost all designs are of the ring magnet method.

Wow just have to say. Props for trying to help as many people as possible in the comments. Like wow you’re amazing dude. If you’re still answering questions, I have one. So my car has had the traction light on for a bit, but sometimes when I’m driving, abs and break lights turn on. Also, my car just started moving the speed diameter up and down in the middle of driving. The car feels perfectly fine, but, kinda scare about this symptoms. Already took it too a shop, but they couldn’t fix the problem and I have nooo idea what it might be. I am willing to pay for a abs module but idk if that’ll be the problem
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured out. A few things to do. 1. Verify all 4 tire pressure reading are set to manufacturers recommended psi. Believe it or not, low tire pressure can trigger abs in newer modern vehicles. 2. If you live in snowy areas, snow, ice, water, & moisture can sneak into abs sensor electrical connection points. This leads to abs turning on. In this case, disconnecting electrical connection and cleaning/drying will hopefully help. Let’s start there. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thank you and yes. all tires are set to manufacturers specs. Also, idk when people say new because i have mostly owned old cars lol. The car having this problem is my 2012 Dodge Avenger and i live in Arizona where the lowest we get is 40F and a high of 118. So maybe the second step would be ruled out? or would you still recommend me checking it out? Also have switched most of the fuses in the fuze box. Now, i didnt touch those big square fuzes found in the box (sorry dont know the mechanic lingo lol)
@@MooseX2012 Thanks for the reply & is your ABS light illuminated on instrument cluster? If yes, you may want to visit your local AutoZone & have then read your ABS error codes. They do this for free. Obtaining the error codes will hopefully help pinpoint the part causing your issues.
Great video. Is it possible for the ABS moduel to go bad and need to be replaced without the need to replace the speed sensors or the exciter magnetic rings?
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders.Mike Thanks for your reply. I need your help in understanding what is going on with my car and truly be thankful for your input. I have a 2012 Hundai Sonota. A few weeks ago Bunch of engin lights including ABS light (intermittently) were coming on. I took it to a Hundai dealer to have it checked. They told me this is electrical related issue and to diagnose the issue it will cost me $180. I agreed. After a few days their service called and said they have checked all the components that they thought could be causing this but haven't been able to pinpoint it and need to do further diagnostic work and it will cost me more money to do that. I agreed. After a few days they called and said they have determined the cause for this issue is a bad ABS moduel ...the cost will be 500 for diagnostic wk + $1300 to replace it. I agreed. I Had no other choice!! They called me yesterday and said they have installed the new ABS moduel and all engin lights except for the ABS is gone. They said that they have checked everything and found one of the wheel sensor is messed up and it is likely that this is what has created the issue with the ABS moduel in the first place!!! So they are replacing the bad wheel sensor as well. Mike, at this point, I am having a hard time accepting the accuracy of their initial diagnosis and don't know what to do. My question is can the messed up wheel sensor be the actual culprit to begin with and that the ABS moduel was never bad and didn't need to be replaced at all? Or can they both go bad? Or can a bad wheel sensor as they have told her damage the ABS moduel. Don't mechanic use an advanced OBD2 reader that can pinpoint weather it is ABS moduel or speed senors? I feel like if the ABS was never faulty they should not be charging me the $1300 for replacing it and only charge me for replacing the bad wheel sensor. What do you think? Also, if one wheel sensor is bad, should I replace all 4 sensors now.
@@meshkatassian8946 We are honored to help and that’s a bummer that you have had to experience this in recent days and weeks. To answer your question, yes 100%! It is 100% possible that a faulty wheel speed sensor can trigger the ABS light. To answer your question further about if the speed sensor can be the original culprit while the ABS module still good…Yes, it is possible that your original ABS module was A-ok and not faulty however we can’t personally confirm that…but…it is more common for a speed sensor to fail and trigger the ABS light…as opposed to the module failing. Hope this help. 🧰
Thanks Mike... It is so heart warming to get your input... As I have said earlier, The shop is telling me that the ABS moduel was faulty that is why it was replaced. In addition they say that the messed up wheel sensor is what has caused the ABS moduel to go bad!!! Mike, Can a bad wheel sensor as they have told me (damage) the ABS moduel? Don't mechanic use an advanced OBD2 reader that can pinpoint whether it is ABS moduel or speed senors? Or both? What can I asked the mechanics to show me to assure me that the original ABS moduel was indeed faulty and needed to be replaced? I feel now that they have replaced the $1000 ABS moduel they are trying to justify their repair work by saying that the messed up sensor has damaged the moduel!!!
@@meshkatassian8946 Thanks for the reply, we are always happy to help. Will a speed sensor ultimately cause an ABS module to fail…it’s possible…however we have never heard of that happening…🤔 We don’t know all the ins-and-outs of what the shop diagnosed and because of that…can’t give you a definite answer. But again, we have never seen a wheel speed sensor being the sole pinpointed culprit of an ABS module failure. 🧰
Great video, I have a Ford explorer sport Trac 2008 and I recently replaced my tires of the vehicle and it recently started to turn on my abs light once I speed up to 15 mph, breaks work perfectly fine with no issue so I'm stumped as to why, I'm unsure if wheel unalignment may also have something to do with it.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. You mentioned you just recently replaced tires. Believe it or not, it may be as simple as bringing your air pressure inside your tire up to the recommended max psi. Please keep us posted.
This is very good tutorial on abs light on. My question is am rx 300,1999 model having same abs light on and speedometer not working what can I do pls but the transmission gear still working.
Absolutely, just another useless invention to screw money out of us. Abs light can come on but there's nothing wrong with wheel rotation, it's all down to a damaged or failed senser or it's associated parts.
Yep. I’m 18 my car’s ABS has been out for three months now, best believe I’m not buying a new abs motor/pump for $200 if you can drive with it you can drive without it
Just installed the wrong bearing on a 2003 element awd and it has abs now I have the abs light on but even before that I had it on, and before that I was borrowing my brother's 1976 vw bug...we definitely don't need abs we need people being are of how to drive the car properly. I've seen people with abs hydroplane or crash even with the abs engaged. Abs doesn't fix idiots
My 2008 has anti lock esp and slip lights come on when o go over 15 miles per hour. I have watch your videos on causes. How do I find out which wheel is making this happen? I noticed that I have a very slight vibration in my steering wheel could this mean I need to replace one of my rooters or the magnetic ring for my abs sensor Thank you for your videos and help
Thanks for reaching out to us Mark & we appreciate you watching our videos. Do you have an OBD scanner? If not, you come visit your local AutoZone and they can read your error codes for 100% free. The codes will help pinpoint the exact wheel hub causing issue. 😎👍🔧🔩
Thank you. Great video. My old honda odyssey recently showed an ABS light on along with other lights. After stopping at traffic light, my car won't accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. Do you think that would be the only problem? What would be the expected cost to repair each individual issue vs changing the whole ABS unit together? Here in CA prices can vary so much, price gouging is so common. I recently brought a 2013 escalade to the shop and they told me my rotor and axel in the back wheels have to be replaced, and I paid $6.5K for it. I am scared to bring my car to any mechanic worrying they are going to ask me to pay $2K for this issue.
Thanks for your knowledge of ABS. I recently replaced the two rear shocks of my 2012 escalade esv now the ABS, traction control, stabilitrak lights are on. The vehicle runs normal obd scanner shows no codes. Any clue? Thanks for responding.
Thanks for watching, it may be as simple as a quick reset. We recommend disconnecting the black negative cable from your battery and leaving disconnected for a minimum of five minutes…which will reset your computer. After five minutes, resecure black negative cable to battery and start engine.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hey thanks for the quick response. Still 3 lights showing after did what you suggested. I checked all tire pressures, wheel sensors wiring look fine. Basically the vehicle runs normal no limb mode. I'll just keep driving it maybe lights will turn off eventually.
@@chester3753 Thanks for the update? Did the battery connections feel loose…?…in other words, after you tighten 10mm nut to secure battery cable to terminal…can you move it easily or is it locked in-place? A loose connection can trigger miscellaneous errors such as ABS.
I have an 07 Trailblazer and I replace my steering angle sensor and hub bearings with abs cord, brake rotors and pads, and abs light and traction control light still comes on, you have any idea? Thanks for sharing your video..

@@candlelightbeesgardening Absolutely! In addition, this time of year can cause havoc on a vehicles ABS system while driving in snow, ice, salt, slush, and dirt. However back to your question, dirt making it’s way onto, into, and around ABS components can definitely trigger the vehicle’s ABS light to illuminate. 😎☕️🧰
2006 Toyota Highlander 3.3L gas. I'm having an ABS issue, which I was told by my mechanic, that the first step is to replace the abs module. I'm getting the following codes C1223, U0073, U0123, U0124, U0126, C0371, and C1281 I can't find anyone that will rebuild my abs module. I understand they are extremely expensive at the dealer and I believe they are discontinued. I thought about buying a used one, but I don't know where to get it reprogrammed. I heard the dealers don't reprogram them unless it's a new one. Does anyone know where I can get it rebuilt? Oh by the way, the issue that started all of this was the day after bought it. It drove fine at the dealership and the next day, i was on a busy road and all of a sudden it lost power while accelerating and I would have to push the accelerator down all the way just for it to move 10 mph. The abs lights came on and the traction control as well. I'd appreciate any advice. The shady dealership told me I had a 1 week/1000 mile warranty that if ANY THING went wrong that they'll fix it. I called them and they said to look at my paperwork that I bought it as is and they refused to help me in any way. I did take them to court and won. I received a full refund and I was able to keep the car for free, minus the $750 I had to pay an attorney.
Thank you this very informative video ii do hope i can get some help with my question which is; my abs light stays off when i start the car with my foot on the break pedal but as soon as i release the pedal my abs light comes on. Help me please. Toyota 4runner 2000 limited 3.4L
Thanks for watching, this usually happens when the system detects low brake fluid. We recommend adding the proper brake fluid and bringing it back up to the proper fill parameters.

I can't do a quick reset due to no key only a fob 2018 Jeep Cherokee codeU140A right front wheel speed sensor. It was your prior video of pumping the gas pedal then start?
"OH", one more question regarding the ABS module. I understand there is a way to "reprogram" them, "OR" Flash them and clear the internal code, "HENCE" clearing your light ?? Of course, you would need to find someone that can do it, as you might also need him in case you end up using a "Used" module, since they would need to programme module to your specific VIN and model vehicle?? Thank Again !! God Bless !
Great question & it’s very possible that the video link below will help. It’s a (Quick Reset) procedure that resets system. Your procedure may be different if your vehicle is not a GM/Chevy. ruclips.net/video/Fu47rWAD30k/видео.html 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders "NO" , sorry, just saw your video on the reset. And , "NO" , it's not a Chevy, we're talking 2002 Ford F-150. But so far , we have enough to at least start looking for what might be wrong, and "WHY" it is "Intermittent" ?? Thank You , God Bless !
Hi, I own a Ford Escape 2009 2.5 engine FWD and appears the ABS and TCS light on. I scanned and shows the B2900 code, In my understanding it means that the ABS VIN module doesn't match with the mean computer. According to the shop it needs to reprogram but is too expensive. I have a basic scan and I can delete that code but when start again the vehicle appears again. So, the specific question, do exist any alternative method to correct o delete this? As a comment, I checked the 4 wheel sensors and looks good. Thank you from Chihuahua Mexico.
Thanks for watching Luis, you can start by a simple reset by disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes. It doesn’t work, module reprogram might be best.
Good morning, we are drinking our morning coffee answering any and all questions for the DIY community. You may actually have a caliper in its early stages of failure.

Great video. Based on comments here and elsewhere, it seems almost inevitable a mechanic or dealership tells you it is the module, big ticket item which is the problem. You want to get a kick? Next time you talk to the guy at the service desk, work into the conversation how you have researched your problem on YT and then look at their reaction.

Thank you for this video. I have a unique problem that has stumped 3 mechanics and at least 2 really good computer coders.. My truck (2008 Chevy Express 1500 Cargo Van) had a problem that was traced to the throttle body harness. It was crimped. Replaced and 4 new tire sensors as well. Problem I experienced was check engine light and van putt'd & sputtered. Towed to mechanic and above fixes. Since then (3 months) intermittent ABS/Emergency brake light comes on and stays on for either a couple hours or all day. I have since noticed the check engine light periodically coming on at the same time. It eventually goes out, as do the other 2 lights. Today, I had to be towed. The van was showing signs of putt'n & sputtering while sitting idle. All the lights mentioned were on. My last stop I noticed the van felt as if it wanted to surge slightly while in gear and brakes applied. The speedometer was fluctuating up and down as well. Once under power the check engine light started flashing and I lost power. After shutting engine off and starting again...check engine light solid. Once under power for less than 1 minute...check engine light began flashing and loss of power. Mechanic is stumped. Any chance you've encountered this situation? Kim D.
Don’t forget about BUS problems! All sensors, fuses and modules can be good but a bus / electrical issue is always possible. Can test that issue through testing for power through you’re harness or splice packs!
Hello. I have a 2014 Jeep Sahara with 7000 miles .I pressed the ESC button by accident when I was cleaning. The ABS light and ESC light came on. When I pulled away the left front wheel dragged and then released. This happens @ every start. What can I do. Thank you John .
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club John. We would start by doing a Reset. We recommend disconnecting the negative cable from your battery and leaving disconnected for a minimum of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, resecure negative cable to your battery and see if your system has reconfigured properly. 😎👍🔧🔩
Hello, thanks for the good video. Is it possible for the ABS module to work with only one speed sensor? Actually, I am a student and I want to present the operation of ABS with a single tire and a brake unit using a single speed sensor.
Thanks for watching and without the speed sensor, the ABS module will still communicate with the other wheel sensors and operate as designed. Most vehicles will still have a built in safety feature that allows ABS to engage on all wheels however the one with faulty sensor will behave sporadically.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Actually, I have created a project with single wheel and break assembly, and demonstrated the ABS module on a board, normal break is okay but anti skid not working, so i am stuck now. I want to ask is it necessary for ABS module to get all four sensor inputs to operate? Or we can use single sensor, or can we divide the output of speed sensor to four inputs for ECU??
@@livetech4062 We appreciate the follow up. Below is a link that dives deeper into how the speed sensor operates in conjunction with the hub. Pretty unique design. ruclips.net/video/8CRXheZ_72Y/видео.html 😎👍
Thanks for the great video. I have the same problem with Cadillac Escalade ESV 2016.in raining, few lights get ON, traction, ABS,and the steering gets harder even undeliverable. Do you think these are the same issue and can be fixed by changing sensors?
Good morning & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. We recommend starting with the fuses. Check to ensure all fuses related to ABS system are clean, not rusted or corroded, as well as the fuse box internal leads that fuses connect into are clean, dry, & not melted or damaged. If all looks good, it’s time to direct attention to the sensor. Let’s start there. Please keep us posted, us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together! 😎👍🔧🔩
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge of vehicle repair with the world. My ABS light has been on (steady) since I had my tires replaced 3wks ago, getting ready for winter. For two days, the the ABS activates, showing a car skidding icon (on completely dry asphalt here) and the gas pedal loses pressure. It activates every time I have to start it up (minimum of 6x daily) and today it happened while I was facing oncoming traffic. Can you please tell me which of the 4 reasons explains the issue my 07' Lincoln Navigator L is having? Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured out. You mentioned tire service recently. Believe it or not, low tire pressure can trigger ABS light. We recommend checking the sidewall of your tire for the proper psi and filling your tires to that psi. Go for a test drive and see if this turns off your ABS. Keep us posted, us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together! 😎👍🔧🔩
I had a blow out on Tuesday. I ended up replacing all tires. I have the same issue that you described. The gas pedal acts up once when I start the vehicle, then it is OK the rest of the drive. Did you get it figured out?
@@BatmanVMMA Thanks for watching & it’s very possible that your blown tire damaged an ABS sensor. We recommend having your ABS error codes read by an OBD scanner. This will help us pinpoint the exact part causing your issue. AutoZone will read error codes for 100% free. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@BatmanVMMA please can you update this thread when you check the codes given. Currently in EXACTLY same situation. Blown tires > tires replaced > then ABS light.
@@charleseke7341 I used a code reader and there was a code. I think it was C0055 or something like that. The code reader told me the rear passenger tire speed sensor something something... I forgot exactly what it said, but I cleared it and it hasn't come back on. When I inspected the sensor, the blow out rubbed off some of the plastic coating on the wiring. I used some shrink wrap stuff on it. Hope this helps.

Wouldn't it be easier to check the fuses first since that is really quick? It would suck if you inspected all 4 wheels and then found out it was a blown fuse. Also, shouldn't you check the fuses electrically with an Ohm meter ?

Thanks for watching, any update? Below is a reset procedure that may help reconfigure your ABS system. ruclips.net/video/Fu47rWAD30k/видео.htmlsi=v8okjdlphwVSe91G 🧰
I had a ABS module replaced. They didn't use the scan tool to move valves in ABS module and properly get air out of lines when preforming brake bleed. So chased my tail figuring it out.
I have a 1995 E320 Mercedes Cabriolet convertible that has both the ABS and the ASR lights are on. There are no error codes to reset even when you run an error code check reader. Took it to a Mercedes dealer and they had it all day while I waited for the car. They were unable to fix it and could not reset the error codes cause there aren't any. They also couldn't tell me what was wrong with car, no charge either, still not fixed. After I got the car back I took the wheel sensors out and cleaned them and the wheel spacers too, with no luck. What would you suggest?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Any update? We recommend checking inside speed sensor electrical connection point. Verify it is clean & dry...no moisture, no rust or corrosion...& definitely no signs of over-applied dielectric grease...that can cause all kinds of issues. Double check your fuse box to ensure any and all fuses related to your ABS system are properly secured and have no moisture or corrosion on the leads. Let’s start there, keep us posted. Let’s get this figured out. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together!
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thank you for your reply. All of the fuses were replaced with the copper ones the original ones as you know were aluminum. There is no separate fuse listed on the fuse box diagram either. I thought of replacing just the wheel sensor wiring but they are no longer available from Mercedes, and no after market either. Now what?
I could argue there’s FAR more than 4 causes of an ABS malfunction. Caliper pistons, low brake fluid level/fluid leak, intermittent connectivity with either power or ground wires, low battery voltage, bent rims or fix-a-flat, the abs module might need re-calibration, bad MAF or MAP or crank or cam sensors….the list goes on and on and on…..it’s a sophisticated system.
Could you tell me why my ABS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS....THEY SAID THEY PUT ON A NEW SUPENSION RACK. PUT A FRONT GASKET ON......THEY ARGUE ITS MY WORD AGAINST THEIR MECHANIC.... MY LIGHT WASNT ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN
@@lajunecrockett2381 some ABS systems read sensors on the suspensions system as well. If that’s the case then every time the car is lifted off the ground the ABS light will turn on. Usually knowing which ABS code is causing the light to come on is the first step.
Thanks for watching, any update on your findings…? It’s likely that you have a damaged caliper and piston. It’s also likely that you have an electrical issue within your ABS module. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

I have Ford Focus showing 2 ABS sensor errors. Testing the plugs, 2 are 12v, 2 are 9v. The wire from ABS module to sensors are in tact and i tested they carry 12v. So the ABS module is outputting 9v. Is it likely the electrics in the Module or something else? Maybe fuse box?
Love my 2008 Jeep Liberty , now hate the company and the local dealership . Had the car towed at the end of Sept with 4 warning lights on , they said it's ABS pump and Jeep stopped making that part . They said my lifetime warranty will not cover an aftermarket part , the warranty number I called said they would . It's been a month , no part , no interest in resolving this . I think it's fraud to sell me this warranty and then not honor it , I'm retired , not enough money to go somewhere else and pay for it .
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Not really - just waiting for the part - I left a message asked if they checked the sensors at the wheels - no answer . Called the warranty number again today after Jeep dealer still says we need a factory part . Asked the warranty person to call Jeep and answer the same that they answered me - yes they will pay for after market part if no factory part available . I lost my job over this , for the first time in my life I was called unreliable because my Jeep broke down and they are not fixing it 😭
I turned off my car after getting 4 lights on it and when i turned it back on all the lights were gone (including abs). Could rain cause something like this to happen?
Thanks for watching, rain can definitely lead to trapped moisture inside a wheel speed sensor. That’s up there with the top common cause issue that triggers ABS light to illuminate.
Hello! Thank you for the informative video! I have a problem with my 09 Colorado. The ABS light comes on showing traction fault error but when that happens, the blower shuts off (no hot air), as well as my signal lights and wipers. It happened as soon as it got below zero degrees, so I assumed it was because of ice buildup on a sensor etc. But even the mechanic has no clue why it affects the signal lights, blower fan and wipers, other than a faulty computer, and it would not allow him to access the codes to find the source. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Any update? It can be a few things however the best move from here is to have it hooked up to an OBD scanner for code reading. AutoZone will do this for 100% free and this will allow us to pinpoint the exact part causing your issues. Like other vehicles, a faulty part can trigger multiple fault codes so it’s important to get a proper and reliable code reading from a scanner. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hello again! I had it hooked up to multiple OBD scanners but my computer was not allowing access to the scanner. I recently pulled the ABS fuse to see if that would stop the issue. However while driving on the highway the fault light reappeared, and I lost wipers, lights, blower, signals, etc. Does the fact that this occured without the ABS fuse narrow down any possibilities for you? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🤘
@@Vballnut2117 Thanks for the update, since multiple items are giving sporadic behaviors, kinda sounds like you have an electrical shortage...🤔 You may have a loose connection or ground somewhere within the system. These are tough to find and take patients as you look through the wiring feeding off your fuse box & feeding through vehicle to wheel wheels where ABS wiring & sensors are. Also, you may just have a loose fuse. Verify that all of your fuses in your fuse box (both inside engine compartment as well as inside your car down by the pedals to the left side) are fully pressed in & secured. If you are still experiencing issues, we can’t rule out that your ABS sensors are possibly wet and sending sporadic signals to computer.
Can you possibly help with my 2006 dodge 1500??? for some reason my emergency brake light and my ABS light are coming on at the same time. How is it that i can be driving down the road and my E-brake light and ABS light comes on at the same time?? great videos btw!
Caleb Collins Thanks for watching. Let’s get this figured out. 1st... we recommend checking your brake fluid reservoir quantity. In the event that your brake fluid is low, it can set off the alerts to your onboard computer. Adding the proper brake fluid to your reservoir and bringing the fluid level back up to within its proper fill parameters may solve your issue. Let’s start there, keep us posted.

06 Ram 1500 2wd-Dude my ABS & Brake light have been on for like 3 years now lol It drives me crazy bcuz I can't figure out the issue. I've replaced the rear abs sensor on the differential & front wheel hub bearing. The front one sensor on the wheel hub bearing did fix my speedometer not working but the ABS & Brake light stay on at all times when truck is running. Also, I did change the brake fluid reservoir since there is a senor built into it but still no luck.
Texas Tom Thanks for watching. By chance have you had your ABS codes read by an OBD scanner? If yes, what exact error codes were displayed? This will help us pinpoint the exact part that needs to be replaced. 😎👍🔧🔩
Thank you for the clear video, precise explanation & minimal theatrics 👌. I am based in South Africa and attempting to resolve a 2 year long problem. Vehicle is a 2005 Renault Megane 225 bhp Sport. ABS light came on , with concomitant loss of traction control, speedometer, cruise control.At the time , OBD revealed only right front abs still active. New Rotors with pressed wheel bearings having abs magnetic strip AND new ABS sensors have been fitted. OBD scans all show front right abs still active, the other 3 not. Can a 4-channel abs module fail on 3 channels ? What other possible causes should I be looking for ?
Trevor Grantham Thanks for watching & it’s possible. How is your fluid level looking inside your brake fluid reservoir? If the fluid is outside the normal fill parameters... meaning too low or too high... it will cause your symptoms as well. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hi Michael. I carried out a continuity test on the abs harness from the point of the abs sensor connection at each wheel back to the abs module plug, and all were fine. I then bought a 2nd hand pump module (came with 6 mth guarantee😊) and , without removing the original from the car, just plugged it in to check the effect on the cluster lights. They all went out. I've since replaced the abs pump module and all is well 👍🏽 - speedo, cruise control, speed limiter all now funtioning

Thank you so much. This is my current situation with my Chevy Equinox 2016 that happened today. I panicked and rushed to a local repair shop for a diagnostic and got a quote for $800 to replace the ABS module 🥲🥲. My heart dropped from that shocker.
So I resorted to Googling the issue and your RUclips video popped up for the reset trick so I will definitely try that in the morning. If not, I will refer back to this specific video for additional help.

So?
Overall good video, only one point that I have issue with. The two block fuses are not dealer only and can be purchased at most parts stores and even most Wal-Marts in the automotive section.
Thanks for watching & sharing. 😎👍
Great presentation.
The control circuits on these ABS systems are typically low voltage, low amperage, which means you need to check the ABS Module grounds after you check the fuses, or check the separate voltage values either at the wheels yourself, or the voltages coming into the ABS module while a second person helps you by spinning each separate wheel one-at-a-time, but at a uniform rate. As I understand these systems, the interaction between magnetic part of the sensor assembly and the notches in the rotating wheel on the hub assembly generates the voltage measured as the wheel turns. Trucks are usually exposed to harsher conditions than cars, and exposure of the wheel sensors and connectors to water, sea water at the beach, salted roads, etc. over the years can result in degraded sensors at the wheels, or poor or corroded grounds or bad connections where the system wires connect to the push-on or screw-on connectors. Any of these issues can cause voltage variations that prevent the ABS system from knowing whether or not all 4 wheels are rotating at substantially the same speed, and if the signals aren't the same, the ABS light comes on.
The profit margin between replacing the ABS Module and the sensors and sensor wiring on 4 wheels and bleeding or replacing the brake fluid is about $1,000 to 1,500 more than doing the checks he recommended, plus checking the grounds. The ABS module can be replaced with a new one, if necessary, without replacing the valves it is attached to, but it is likely it will have to be re-programmed for your specific vehicle. Programming Specs are often available online, but require special equipment. The alternative is sending a defective ABS module to a specialty shop which can repair the old one, and do any required programming. Costs vary, but usually much cheaper than having a new one programmed and installed - unless you have a shop that does this locally, it can take about ten days to send it and get it back, due to shipping times.

Agree about the clear voice and delivery, that really does make a difference.
I have a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500, 3.7 Engine V6 w/only 74,000 miles bought it brand new. About 16 months ago, the ABS light came on the Dashboard, thought it was the rear sensors, I changed out both, but the ABS Light did not go out. So I took it to back to the Dealer where I had bought the truck way back then. So the issue was the ABS Modulator, had it replace cost about $1,800.00 Drove really good for about 18 months, and last month the ABS Light came back on again, now I am not a mechanic, and am not mechanically incline. Just a few basics, I went to several shops, they all told me the same thing, ABS Modulator w/code C-1073, again it was the ABS Modulator. Finally took back my truck to the Dealers, they said, ABS Modulators are no long made, but they are Re-manufactured, in other words rebuilt w/a 6 month Guarantee . So I paid about $800, and the Re-built ABS Modulator was installed and Re-program. All is well, but what I want to say is, I am keeping this truck till one of us goes up into the sky, either me or the truck. So this time that I had another ABS Modulator installed, I told the Dealership I wanted the ABS Modulator that was on the truck to be given back to me. And I got it back, and am sending it off to have it repaired. I will tell you why, because it is ALL READY PROGRAM for My Truck. The Cost to Re-built the ABS Modulator is only about $300 total, but those that are sold, are not Programed for the car or truck it is going in too. That's why Companies ask you for a Vin Number when inquiring for a ABS Modulator. Getting back the ABS Modulator may save me money down the line, but it is the Programing for my own truck that is most important to me.. So am back on the road, and Merry Christmas to all.
@@PaulGuerrero-d8o
Good morning ☕️
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. That’s a great idea asking for your Modulator back. Getting it rebuilt and also having it already programmed for your exact truck is “money in the bank”.

Thanks for the info education on abs symptoms and possible causes creating abs light on dash. I'm trying to determine if the mechanic that told me my abs pump is failing is correct or not where as they said my coolant leak was coming from heater coil gear assembly but wasn't case and I paid $500 for that to be replaced and installed then that evening my abs light came on. I've bn spending money on repairing front suspension system.
Have yet to replace engine mounts, brakes, and rear suspension as well as tires brakes and then eventually replace interior seating, steering wheel and center console gear shifter and compartment ..
Good morning, you are very welcome. ABS pump failure is not uncommon however if vehicle is less than 10 years old…it’s unlikely that the pump has failed.
It may be as simple as a speed sensor however without hooking up OBD2 scanner, we can’t confidently say.
Having a scanner will help pinpoint the exact part causing your issue.
So useful n professionally the way you explain

2009 Dodge caliber 2.0 ABS light came on. Lifted front end up and ran it to 50 mph and listened for bad bearing. Sounded fine both sides. Checked each back tire and turned by hand and all seemed fine for noise. Grabbed each tire and wiggled and evrything seems tight. Asked my son about the tire pressure and found that all the tires were at 25 to 27 psi. Filled all tires to 33 psi and we took it for a run. Guess what the abs light went out. Completely surprised me.
Check your air pressure of the tires first. It was a very simple fix............................................

Question. My 1992 LT1 Corvette , has a problem. For the life of me I cannot spin or smoke my tires. The emergency brake warning light is always on. So I checked The brake fluid which is full,I changed all four of the brake pads on the entire car and the light is still on I also checked the wheel sensors some of them had rust buildup on them but I cleaned them going back in so why the hell cant I spend the tires on a Corvette. What is the use of owning a Corvette if you can’t smoke the tires that’s my problem I’ve been building dragon jeans for my older cars but I can’t figure out the brake light is unbelievable but he’s got an idea what it is let me know because I don’t see nothing on RUclips about it I even called the dealership and they won’t tell me they want me to bring the car in to take my money that shit ain’t going to happen. When I bought this Corvette I didn’t even realize until I lifted the hood after I got home there’s a Optispark distributor what kind of crap is that what’s a matter with the old Style ones on top of the back of the engine.

Great video. Very clear and concise. I have a 2009 F 250 and my ABS light comes on intermittently. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern to it. The brakes are working fine without the ABS. I bought a Blue driver scanner and I’m getting code C1096 Pump Motor Open Circuit. I’m going to dive in on this next week, but was wondering if because it is intermittent, do you have any insights?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s try something. We recommend filling all four of your tires back up to its proper psi. See if this registers & runs off ABS light. Keep us posted.

Brilliant bit of information. I had a passenger front sensor come up so it was replaced and one 15 minutes later after leaving the garage the ABS came on again and now it says the driver side rear sensor needs replacing. Could that be possible ? Or could it be the fuse or abs module ? Thanks

PERFECT video! My Mitsubishi outlander 2010 is recently showing ABS light issue. It is coming on and off on the dashboard. When it is on, then ACS off light turns on. The car is running well so far, no brake issue whatsoever with ABS light on. I have driven 5K+ miles with ABS light on. I got P1773 and C2116 codes. How serious is that?
Great Video man ! Any idea the ABS/ESP doesnt light up on dashboard after you turn on key ? i checkt fuses but dont know exactly the problem
@@dracony7649
Good morning ☕️ any update?
It’s possible that the lighting for that indicator has burnt out however that is very uncommon and not likely the case.
We recommend disconnecting the black negative cable from your battery and leaving disconnected for a minimum of five minutes.
This will allow your system to perform a full electrical system reset. After five minutes, resecure black negative cable to battery and check electrical system by turning the key on, followed by starting the engine.
This reset will hopefully remove any electrical glitches or malfunctions within the system and get your computer back to proper in normal configuration.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thank you so much will try to do this method if it works 👍👍

Hello & thanks for such great videos. I have a situation where my 2005 Colorado goes into "Reduced Power" and then shows the message "Traction Fault". Would you happen to know anything about this? I have gone to soo many places & dealers & they can't figure it out because they can't replicate the situation because it only happens randomly. So when it happens, I get stranded for a few minutes, I shut it off, wait a few minutes and then I'm able to get going again. Now the weirdest is that EVEY TIME this happens, my power locks stop working, so I have to disconnect the battery for a few minutes and everything works back to normal again.... any advise? It would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
Good morning, just poured a cup of coffee and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
It could be an electrical issue. You may have a loose connection…we recommend inspecting any and all electrical connections and fuses related to ABS system as well as the Traction Control system.
You might even have a part in its early stages of failure…which because of this…the part itself is working intermittently. Please keep us posted.
Make sure all tires are properly inflated to the manufacturer max recommended psi.

Wow just have to say. Props for trying to help as many people as possible in the comments. Like wow you’re amazing dude. If you’re still answering questions, I have one.
So my car has had the traction light on for a bit, but sometimes when I’m driving, abs and break lights turn on. Also, my car just started moving the speed diameter up and down in the middle of driving. The car feels perfectly fine, but, kinda scare about this symptoms. Already took it too a shop, but they couldn’t fix the problem and I have nooo idea what it might be.
I am willing to pay for a abs module but idk if that’ll be the problem
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured out. A few things to do.
1. Verify all 4 tire pressure reading are set to manufacturers recommended psi. Believe it or not, low tire pressure can trigger abs in newer modern vehicles.
2. If you live in snowy areas, snow, ice, water, & moisture can sneak into abs sensor electrical connection points. This leads to abs turning on. In this case, disconnecting electrical connection and cleaning/drying will hopefully help.
Let’s start there. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thank you and yes. all tires are set to manufacturers specs. Also, idk when people say new because i have mostly owned old cars lol. The car having this problem is my 2012 Dodge Avenger and i live in Arizona where the lowest we get is 40F and a high of 118. So maybe the second step would be ruled out? or would you still recommend me checking it out?
Also have switched most of the fuses in the fuze box. Now, i didnt touch those big square fuzes found in the box (sorry dont know the mechanic lingo lol)
@@MooseX2012
Thanks for the reply & is your ABS light illuminated on instrument cluster? If yes, you may want to visit your local AutoZone & have then read your ABS error codes. They do this for free.

Great video. Is it possible for the ABS moduel to go bad and need to be replaced without the need to replace the speed sensors or the exciter magnetic rings?
@@meshkatassian8946
Thanks for watching, definitely a possibility that we can’t rule out as a cause. 👍
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders.Mike Thanks for your reply. I need your help in understanding what is going on with my car and truly be thankful for your input.
I have a 2012 Hundai Sonota. A few weeks ago Bunch of engin lights including ABS light (intermittently) were coming on. I took it to a Hundai dealer to have it checked.
They told me this is electrical related issue and to diagnose the issue it will cost me $180. I agreed. After a few days their service called and said they have checked all the components that they thought could be causing this but haven't been able to pinpoint it and need to do further diagnostic work and it will cost me more money to do that. I agreed. After a few days they called and said they have determined the cause for this issue is a bad ABS moduel ...the cost will be 500 for diagnostic wk + $1300 to replace it. I agreed. I Had no other choice!!
They called me yesterday and said they have installed the new ABS moduel and all engin lights except for the ABS is gone. They said that they have checked everything and found one of the wheel sensor is messed up and it is likely that this is what has created the issue with the ABS moduel in the first place!!!
So they are replacing the bad wheel sensor as well.
Mike, at this point, I am having a hard time accepting the accuracy of their initial diagnosis and don't know what to do.
My question is can the messed up wheel sensor be the actual culprit to begin with and that the ABS moduel was never bad and didn't need to be replaced at all? Or can they both go bad? Or can a bad wheel sensor as they have told her damage the ABS moduel. Don't mechanic use an advanced OBD2 reader that can pinpoint weather it is ABS moduel or speed senors?
I feel like if the ABS was never faulty they should not be charging me the $1300 for replacing it and only charge me for replacing the bad wheel sensor. What do you think?
Also, if one wheel sensor is bad, should I replace all 4 sensors now.
@@meshkatassian8946
We are honored to help and that’s a bummer that you have had to experience this in recent days and weeks.
To answer your question, yes 100%!
It is 100% possible that a faulty wheel speed sensor can trigger the ABS light.
To answer your question further about if the speed sensor can be the original culprit while the ABS module still good…Yes, it is possible that your original ABS module was A-ok and not faulty however we can’t personally confirm that…but…it is more common for a speed sensor to fail and trigger the ABS light…as opposed to the module failing.
Hope this help. 🧰
Thanks Mike... It is so heart warming to get your input...
As I have said earlier, The shop is telling me that the ABS moduel was faulty that is why it was replaced. In addition they say that the messed up wheel sensor is what has caused the ABS moduel to go bad!!!
Mike, Can a bad wheel sensor as they have told me (damage) the ABS moduel?
Don't mechanic use an advanced OBD2 reader that can pinpoint whether it is ABS moduel or speed senors? Or both?
What can I asked the mechanics to show me to assure me that the original ABS moduel was indeed faulty and needed to be replaced?
I feel now that they have replaced the $1000 ABS moduel they are trying to justify their repair work by saying that the messed up sensor has damaged the moduel!!!
@@meshkatassian8946
Thanks for the reply, we are always happy to help.
Will a speed sensor ultimately cause an ABS module to fail…it’s possible…however we have never heard of that happening…🤔
We don’t know all the ins-and-outs of what the shop diagnosed and because of that…can’t give you a definite answer.
But again, we have never seen a wheel speed sensor being the sole pinpointed culprit of an ABS module failure.

Great video, I have a Ford explorer sport Trac 2008 and I recently replaced my tires of the vehicle and it recently started to turn on my abs light once I speed up to 15 mph, breaks work perfectly fine with no issue so I'm stumped as to why, I'm unsure if wheel unalignment may also have something to do with it.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. You mentioned you just recently replaced tires.
Believe it or not, it may be as simple as bringing your air pressure inside your tire up to the recommended max psi.

This is very good tutorial on abs light on.
My question is am rx 300,1999 model having same abs light on and speedometer not working what can I do pls but the transmission gear still working.
for over 50 years cars operated without abs . we don't need it Ralph Nader.
Absolutely, just another useless invention to screw money out of us. Abs light can come on but there's nothing wrong with wheel rotation, it's all down to a damaged or failed senser or it's associated parts.
Yep. I’m 18 my car’s ABS has been out for three months now, best believe I’m not buying a new abs motor/pump for $200 if you can drive with it you can drive without it
It put my car in limp mode so I need it lol
I recently bought a car and bypassed the ABS system and now the brakes are working better than when I got it 😊
Just installed the wrong bearing on a 2003 element awd and it has abs now I have the abs light on but even before that I had it on, and before that I was borrowing my brother's 1976 vw bug...we definitely don't need abs we need people being are of how to drive the car properly. I've seen people with abs hydroplane or crash even with the abs engaged. Abs doesn't fix idiots
My 2008 has anti lock esp and slip lights come on when o go over 15 miles per hour. I have watch your videos on causes.
How do I find out which wheel is making this happen? I noticed that I have a very slight vibration in my steering wheel could this mean I need to replace one of my rooters or the magnetic ring for my abs sensor

Thank you. Great video. My old honda odyssey recently showed an ABS light on along with other lights. After stopping at traffic light, my car won't accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. Do you think that would be the only problem? What would be the expected cost to repair each individual issue vs changing the whole ABS unit together? Here in CA prices can vary so much, price gouging is so common. I recently brought a 2013 escalade to the shop and they told me my rotor and axel in the back wheels have to be replaced, and I paid $6.5K for it. I am scared to bring my car to any mechanic worrying they are going to ask me to pay $2K for this issue.
might be the computer

Is it possible for this light also to just be triggered by dirt, dust collecting in that whole area around the wheel with any of those parts?

Absolutely! In addition, this time of year can cause havoc on a vehicles ABS system while driving in snow, ice, salt, slush, and dirt.
However back to your question, dirt making it’s way onto, into, and around ABS components can definitely trigger the vehicle’s ABS light to illuminate.

2006 Toyota Highlander 3.3L gas. I'm having an ABS issue, which I was told by my mechanic, that the first step is to replace the abs module. I'm getting the following codes C1223, U0073, U0123, U0124, U0126, C0371, and C1281 I can't find anyone that will rebuild my abs module. I understand they are extremely expensive at the dealer and I believe they are discontinued. I thought about buying a used one, but I don't know where to get it reprogrammed. I heard the dealers don't reprogram them unless it's a new one. Does anyone know where I can get it rebuilt? Oh by the way, the issue that started all of this was the day after bought it. It drove fine at the dealership and the next day, i was on a busy road and all of a sudden it lost power while accelerating and I would have to push the accelerator down all the way just for it to move 10 mph. The abs lights came on and the traction control as well. I'd appreciate any advice. The shady dealership told me I had a 1 week/1000 mile warranty that if ANY THING went wrong that they'll fix it. I called them and they said to look at my paperwork that I bought it as is and they refused to help me in any way. I did take them to court and won. I received a full refund and I was able to keep the car for free, minus the $750 I had to pay an attorney.

Hi, I own a Ford Escape 2009 2.5 engine FWD and appears the ABS and TCS light on. I scanned and shows the B2900 code, In my understanding it means that the ABS VIN module doesn't match with the mean computer. According to the shop it needs to reprogram but is too expensive. I have a basic scan and I can delete that code but when start again the vehicle appears again. So, the specific question, do exist any alternative method to correct o delete this?

I have a unique problem that has stumped 3 mechanics and at least 2 really good computer coders..
My truck (2008 Chevy Express 1500 Cargo Van) had a problem that was traced to the throttle body harness. It was crimped. Replaced and 4 new tire sensors as well.
Problem I experienced was check engine light and van putt'd & sputtered. Towed to mechanic and above fixes.
Since then (3 months) intermittent ABS/Emergency brake light comes on and stays on for either a couple hours or all day. I have since noticed the check engine light periodically coming on at the same time. It eventually goes out, as do the other 2 lights.
Today, I had to be towed. The van was showing signs of putt'n & sputtering while sitting idle. All the lights mentioned were on. My last stop I noticed the van felt as if it wanted to surge slightly while in gear and brakes applied. The speedometer was fluctuating up and down as well. Once under power the check engine light started flashing and I lost power. After shutting engine off and starting again...check engine light solid. Once under power for less than 1 minute...check engine light began flashing and loss of power.
Mechanic is stumped. Any chance you've encountered this situation?

Hello, thanks for the good video. Is it possible for the ABS module to work with only one speed sensor? Actually, I am a student and I want to present the operation of ABS with a single tire and a brake unit using a single speed sensor.
Thanks for watching and without the speed sensor, the ABS module will still communicate with the other wheel sensors and operate as designed.
Most vehicles will still have a built in safety feature that allows ABS to engage on all wheels however the one with faulty sensor will behave sporadically.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Actually, I have created a project with single wheel and break assembly, and demonstrated the ABS module on a board, normal break is okay but anti skid not working, so i am stuck now. I want to ask is it necessary for ABS module to get all four sensor inputs to operate? Or we can use single sensor, or can we divide the output of speed sensor to four inputs for ECU??

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge of vehicle repair with the world. My ABS light has been on (steady) since I had my tires replaced 3wks ago, getting ready for winter. For two days, the the ABS activates, showing a car skidding icon (on completely dry asphalt here) and the gas pedal loses pressure. It activates every time I have to start it up (minimum of 6x daily) and today it happened while I was facing oncoming traffic. Can you please tell me which of the 4 reasons explains the issue my 07' Lincoln Navigator L is having? Thanks a bunch!

1. Brake Hose. (Replace)
2. Caliper (rebuild or replace)
3. Master Cylinder Return Hole/Vent Clogged (clear hole)
4. Master Cylinder Seals (replace MC with a New one - Never a rebuilt one)
5. Caliper Slide Pins (Replace rubber bushing if swollen from wrong grease, or clean & relube pins, or replace with new pins)
6. Push Rod from Booster Needs Adjustment (Only if MC was replaced before and not checked)

do you teach at a 10th grade or lower level?
just wondering cuz you have a very calming voice and tone that might've helped me learn math early on
and you take your time with the explanation and not stress me out like some other teachers used to do when i was in grade school

Hello, thanks for this video🙏. My car is SATURN 2007 and today I see ABS light ON , time to time my I see TRACK OFF on the DASH, please tell me what I can do!
Thanks for watching, any update? Below is a reset procedure that may help reconfigure your ABS system.

I had a ABS module replaced. They didn't use the scan tool to move valves in ABS module and properly get air out of lines when preforming brake bleed. So chased my tail figuring it out.
Thanks for watching and sharing this. Is everything back to normal and working properly after the repair and brake bleed?
would anything be wrong with spraying contact cleaner into the contacts?

Thanks a lot... Very informative.
You are very welcome, thanks for watching. Enjoy your day.
I have a 1995 E320 Mercedes Cabriolet convertible that has both the ABS and the ASR lights are on.
There are no error codes to reset even when you run an error code check reader. Took it to a
Mercedes dealer and they had it all day while I waited for the car. They were unable to fix it and
could not reset the error codes cause there aren't any. They also couldn't tell me what was wrong
with car, no charge either, still not fixed. After I got the car back I took the wheel sensors out and
cleaned them and the wheel spacers too, with no luck. What would you suggest?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Any update?
We recommend checking inside speed sensor electrical connection point. Verify it is clean & dry...no moisture, no rust or corrosion...& definitely no signs of over-applied dielectric grease...that can cause all kinds of issues.
Double check your fuse box to ensure any and all fuses related to your ABS system are properly secured and have no moisture or corrosion on the leads.
Let’s start there, keep us posted. Let’s get this figured out. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together!
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thank you for your reply. All of the fuses were replaced
with the copper ones the original ones as you know were aluminum. There is no
separate fuse listed on the fuse box diagram either. I thought of replacing just the
wheel sensor wiring but they are no longer available from Mercedes, and no after
market either. Now what?
@@bobjohnson8206
Thanks for the reply. You may need to purchase an aftermarket part.

ABS Light on and empty brake fluid reservoir .. Looking for a leak now ?
@@bluemoon3264
Thanks for watching, any update? Let us know if you have any questions.
I could argue there’s FAR more than 4 causes of an ABS malfunction. Caliper pistons, low brake fluid level/fluid leak, intermittent connectivity with either power or ground wires, low battery voltage, bent rims or fix-a-flat, the abs module might need re-calibration, bad MAF or MAP or crank or cam sensors….the list goes on and on and on…..it’s a sophisticated system.
Definitely, we appreciate you watching and sharing this. Any and all helpful info is greatly appreciated. 😎👍
“4 most COMMON”… if you are arguing which 4 were chosen, then specify that.
Otherwise work on your reading comprehension.
@@aaroncalhoun9825 technically you’re correct. I was trying to shed a light on the 4,000 other non-common causes of ABS malfunction.
Could you tell me why my ABS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS....THEY SAID THEY PUT ON A NEW SUPENSION RACK. PUT A FRONT GASKET ON......THEY ARGUE ITS MY WORD AGAINST THEIR MECHANIC.... MY LIGHT WASNT ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN
@@lajunecrockett2381 some ABS systems read sensors on the suspensions system as well. If that’s the case then every time the car is lifted off the ground the ABS light will turn on. Usually knowing which ABS code is causing the light to come on is the first step.
Can I ask which one of these 4 could cause my truck to jerk after braking?
Thanks for watching, any update on your findings…?
It’s likely that you have a damaged caliper and piston. It’s also likely that you have an electrical issue within your ABS module.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Suggestion, may use a electrical spray cleaner on those corroded connection point.

I have Ford Focus showing 2 ABS sensor errors. Testing the plugs, 2 are 12v, 2 are 9v. The wire from ABS module to sensors are in tact and i tested they carry 12v. So the ABS module is outputting 9v. Is it likely the electrics in the Module or something else? Maybe fuse box?
Thanks for watching, it may be as simple as a reset. Below is a link.

Could I spray electronic contact cleaner then let it dry do you think that would do any good I'm a woman and trying to find the easiest route
Good morning ☕️ good question. We haven’t applied that in the past, can’t give you a confident answer.
Love my 2008 Jeep Liberty , now hate the company and the local dealership . Had the car towed at the end of Sept with 4 warning lights on , they said it's ABS pump and Jeep stopped making that part . They said my lifetime warranty will not cover an aftermarket part , the warranty number I called said they would . It's been a month , no part , no interest in resolving this . I think it's fraud to sell me this warranty and then not honor it , I'm retired , not enough money to go somewhere else and pay for it .
@@sandym8787
Thanks for watching, that sounds stressful. Have you performed any reset procedures?
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Not really - just waiting for the part - I left a message asked if they checked the sensors at the wheels - no answer . Called the warranty number again today after Jeep dealer still says we need a factory part . Asked the warranty person to call Jeep and answer the same that they answered me - yes they will pay for after market part if no factory part available . I lost my job over this , for the first time in my life I was called unreliable because my Jeep broke down and they are not fixing it 😭

Stressful, that no fun at all. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders That's so kind thank you ...
I turned off my car after getting 4 lights on it and when i turned it back on all the lights were gone (including abs). Could rain cause something like this to happen?
Thanks for watching, rain can definitely lead to trapped moisture inside a wheel speed sensor.
That’s up there with the top common cause issue that triggers ABS light to illuminate.
Hello! Thank you for the informative video! I have a problem with my 09 Colorado. The ABS light comes on showing traction fault error but when that happens, the blower shuts off (no hot air), as well as my signal lights and wipers. It happened as soon as it got below zero degrees, so I assumed it was because of ice buildup on a sensor etc. But even the mechanic has no clue why it affects the signal lights, blower fan and wipers, other than a faulty computer, and it would not allow him to access the codes to find the source. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Any update? It can be a few things however the best move from here is to have it hooked up to an OBD scanner for code reading.
AutoZone will do this for 100% free and this will allow us to pinpoint the exact part causing your issues. Like other vehicles, a faulty part can trigger multiple fault codes so it’s important to get a proper and reliable code reading from a scanner.
😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hello again! I had it hooked up to multiple OBD scanners but my computer was not allowing access to the scanner. I recently pulled the ABS fuse to see if that would stop the issue. However while driving on the highway the fault light reappeared, and I lost wipers, lights, blower, signals, etc. Does the fact that this occured without the ABS fuse narrow down any possibilities for you? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🤘
@@Vballnut2117
Thanks for the update, since multiple items are giving sporadic behaviors, kinda sounds like you have an electrical shortage...🤔
You may have a loose connection or ground somewhere within the system. These are tough to find and take patients as you look through the wiring feeding off your fuse box & feeding through vehicle to wheel wheels where ABS wiring & sensors are.
Also, you may just have a loose fuse. Verify that all of your fuses in your fuse box (both inside engine compartment as well as inside your car down by the pedals to the left side) are fully pressed in & secured.
If you are still experiencing issues, we can’t rule out that your ABS sensors are possibly wet and sending sporadic signals to computer.
Can you possibly help with my 2006 dodge 1500??? for some reason my emergency brake light and my ABS light are coming on at the same time. How is it that i can be driving down the road and my E-brake light and ABS light comes on at the same time?? great videos btw!
Caleb Collins
Thanks for watching. Let’s get this figured out. 1st... we recommend checking your brake fluid reservoir quantity. In the event that your brake fluid is low, it can set off the alerts to your onboard computer. Adding the proper brake fluid to your reservoir and bringing the fluid level back up to within its proper fill parameters may solve your issue.
Let’s start there, keep us posted. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together!

06 Ram 1500 2wd-Dude my ABS & Brake light have been on for like 3 years now lol It drives me crazy bcuz I can't figure out the issue. I've replaced the rear abs sensor on the differential & front wheel hub bearing. The front one sensor on the wheel hub bearing did fix my speedometer not working but the ABS & Brake light stay on at all times when truck is running. Also, I did change the brake fluid reservoir since there is a senor built into it but still no luck.
Texas Tom
Thanks for watching. By chance have you had your ABS codes read by an OBD scanner? If yes, what exact error codes were displayed? This will help us pinpoint the exact part that needs to be replaced.
😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders No I haven't ...but yes soon I will have to do that so I'll keep ya updated.

Thank you for the clear video, precise explanation & minimal theatrics 👌. I am based in South Africa and attempting to resolve a 2 year long problem. Vehicle is a 2005 Renault Megane 225 bhp Sport. ABS light came on , with concomitant loss of traction control, speedometer, cruise control.At the time , OBD revealed only right front abs still active. New Rotors with pressed wheel bearings having abs magnetic strip AND new ABS sensors have been fitted. OBD scans all show front right abs still active, the other 3 not. Can a 4-channel abs module fail on 3 channels ? What other possible causes should I be looking for ?
Trevor Grantham
Thanks for watching & it’s possible. How is your fluid level looking inside your brake fluid reservoir? If the fluid is outside the normal fill parameters... meaning too low or too high... it will cause your symptoms as well.
Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hi Michael. I carried out a continuity test on the abs harness from the point of the abs sensor connection at each wheel back to the abs module plug, and all were fine. I then bought a 2nd hand pump module (came with 6 mth guarantee😊) and , without removing the original from the car, just plugged it in to check the effect on the cluster lights. They all went out. I've since replaced the abs pump module and all is well 👍🏽 - speedo, cruise control, speed limiter all now funtioning
