How do I get my abs light to go off after I have repaired breaks

Brake pad's have nothing to do with ABS ! ABS light lit ,take it an have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes . Same with the other light's . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop .

Because you have a problem in the ABS system . With the light being on there is a DTC -diagnostic trouble code stored in the ABS control module . EBCM - electronic brake control module . The red brake light also will come on with ABS problem . If you are unfamiliar with this I suggest you take your vehicle to a ASE certified repair facility that is .

-Don't worry. Even the abs is not function properly but the basic brake still work like normal car.



Good luck

one of the sensors on the ABS system could be shorted, have the OBD codes read,, then cleared, that will help you see or limit what to check, once the codes have been cleared,, the lights should go off, if they come back on, then you need to locate the problem with the abs

I will assume your familiar with most lights
you get on your dash. They have been there for 30 years

The ABS is your braking systems electrical part,
that has issues or problems. I will assume you know that
as well

Also the brake lights while electrical is not ABS
related, different problem to work on.

Both these issues need to be diagnosed & repaired

You can not use the vehicle with no brake lights &
the abs will need professional help to resolve,
such as a repair shop with test equipment

The ABS modules on these units are known for a high failure rate. Use VAG com or other software to scan codes in the ABS module. If you ( technician ) find that you can not connect ( communicate ) with the module, I would suspect that your module may need to be rebuilt, replaced, repaired.

Put a scanner on the vehicle and get the code .
Obviously its an ABS PROBLEM and not the hydralic portion of the system.
Either a wheel sensor or the module were my experiences with your problem.
Once you get the code do the repair necessary ( use a shop manual this is not a difficult procedure to do)
Good luck

Dear ABS Light.......The answer is YES!!! If your ABS light is on then obviously your abs system is either completely inoperational or you have oe or more component in your abs that has failed.As long as you are able to safely drive it I would recommend getting your vehicle down to a reputable service shop to inspect that light.I would normally say to inspect these yourself but unfortunately this repair requires a scanner that is fairly expensive and is application specific.I HOPE I COULD HELP!!!

As for the ABS light you probably have broken wires at the wheel hub. I just had mine repaired very little cost if you have the right mechanic that knows what they are doing they should have an ABS scanner to pin point the break . this is an ongoing problem with ABS systems.

If, in fact, it is the ABS light.. then I would suspect a speed sensor. You'll need to hook it up to a computer to tell which code (and hence which sensor) is failing. The good news, is that ABS menas the ABS system is failing, not the cars normal breaking system. You can drive the 'forever' with the ABS light on and not have any difficulty with normal breaking. You just wil not have ABS. You have to descide if ABS is worth the $150-$200 repair on this vehicle. ($100 sensor, $75 install, $25 diagnostic check)
