There is no reset. the ABS system checks itself eveyrtime you start the truck , if there are no problems, it turns off.

If the abs light is on than there is a problem with the abs. If the problem was fixed the light would go out on it's own once the self test completed successfully when you started the vehicle. If you have not pulled codes or made a repair than turning off the light with a scan tool capable of reading abs data will only result in the light coming back on when the abs module still sees the fault present when you start the vehicle the next time. The first thing to do is find out what codes are present. Then focus on that part of the abs system. If you know the code or find out what the code is post it and I'll help you figure it out.

How do I get the abs light to go off in my 2003 gmc Sonoma ZR2

There should be a code stored in abs system that will point you in the right direction. You need to get it scanned, try a local big chain autoparts store they usually scan for free.

Need to rest my proportional brake valve on my 1996 sonoma 4x4 I replaced all the brake lines to the ABS, the ABS brake light stays on and I have only less than half the brake fluid flow at the rear

By the sounds of it you need to bleed your brakes the ABS light should go out by itself if this is done unless their is a ABS problem.Remeber when you bleed brakes that have ABS you must have the vehicle running when you bleed them.

Where is the rear anti-lock brake sensor on a 2003 gmc sonoma zr2

On both the 2wd and 4wd sonoma models the abs sensor is on the front not the rear. The way an abs system functions the wheel speed sensor sends a signal to the abs controller with the wheel speed, if it's faulty it may over activate in a sense or will revert to conventional braking in which your brakes would lock up. Your abs light would be illuminated as well. The new sensor costs about 70 dollars fyi. 10 minutes to install yourself

I have a 2001 gmc sonoma 4.3 replace brake lines on back i am not getting any fluid to rear wheels i tryed bleeding sys with help diconected abs sys to reset to defalt no abs light is on stumped

a special tool is required to hold the ABS hydraulic control unit popit valves open during bleeding of the brakes, without this special tool you will not be able to get the air out of the system, most good brake shops have this tool or of course the local Chevy dealer or GMC dealer. I am a dealer tech and know this information is correct..
