HOW DO I GET THE ABS LIGHT TO GO OFF OR RESET?

I have a 2001 lexus es300. i was parked in my garage w/ the car running. the abs light came on and now won't go off. I've turned the car off and on several times to no avail. in the manual it says to take it to a lexus dealership but i can't put the car in gear to move it. i wonder if it's a fuse issue. any suggestions?

SOURCE: 96 Lexus ES300 When you depress the brake pedal,

Hi there

Few things: When you say it 'slides' to a stop. Do you mean the pedal sinks to the floor with the same pressure as you first applied? If so, the master cylinder needs an overhaul or a replacement, as the seal around the plunger/piston has deteriorated.

If that is not the case, and you get a pulsating feel through the brake pedal, this is the ABS working. If it is not an emergency stop, then the rear brake pads are low, which causes the ABS to trigger too early (and by the sounds of it it is the left rear brake pad).

Seems odd how Toyota mechanics could not work that one out, they own Lexus. Alas, if it's not on their fool-proof computer screen then they pass the buck.

Good luck and please vote for me if this helps you.

SOURCE: The trac off, check engine

CHECK ALL THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS WHICH ARE AT EACH WHEEL. THEY EACH HAVE A CONNECTOR THAT OFTEN COMES UNPLUGGED. HAVE YOU HAD ANY BRAKE OR AXLE WORK DONE? THAT IS USUALLY WHEN THEY GET UNPLUGGED.

ABS/Parking Brake?Service Engine Lights are on But Runs Great

Does ABS work properly? Get on dirt road and try to lock brakes (do this carefully insuring no police car tailgating,lol) Could be bad wheel speed sensor. Check codes with scan tool capable of reading ABS and trans codes.

Grand Caravan runs rough, even after replacing plugs and wires. ABS light and engine light are on. Not sure what to try next.

Get a scan tool or con your local garage into pulling the codes and reading off the freeze framing data (don't ask them to reset anything) and post what you get here and we can go from there. The system turned on that MIL for some reason (ABS won't cause a rough running condition).

How to check abs codes on 97 lexus es300

Locate the DLC1 connector under the hood. Open the cover, if equipped, and remove the short pin, if equipped.
After removing the short pin of the DLC1, connect terminals Tc and E1 of the DLC1 to make the ABS Warning Light blink and output the DTC after you turn the ignition on.

A flash, long pause, two flashes, long pause would indicate a "code 12" and so on.
