A direct-sensing type Tire pressure warning system is used in TPMS
If the vehicle continues to be driven with 1 or more of the 4 inflated to a low air pressure that could cause problems during driving, this system will illuminate the tire pressure warning light to inform the driver of the low air pressure.
In addition to that, this system directly senses the air pressure of each Tire through Tire pressure warning system valve & transmitter that are attached to each wheel.
Before you could proceed you are required to please retrieve the error codes and freeze frame data to get to know about the problem.
If the red brake light and the ABS light are both lit up on the dashboard, do NOT drive the vehicle. It indicates a major malfuntion with the brake system. The red light indicates low brake fluid or the parking brake engaged. The yellow ABS without the red light, indicates a problem the computer found and it disables the ABS system while still having conventional brakes. Since both are lit, it needs the brake system repaired. What you replaced on the rear diff was probably the rear ABS sensor. The vehicle speed sensor for the speedometer should be located on the rear of your transfer case if you have 4WD, or on the rear of the trans if you have 2WD.
Drum or disk rear brakes?
Have you checked the brakes to see if they a o.k.?
Is the ebrake stuck and holding the brake on?
The abs will not keep a wheel from turning. Since ABS stands for ANTI-LOCK Brake System it would not make sense for the system to "lock" up the brakes since it is designed to keep the brakes from locking up.
Your problem is mechanical or hydraulic. A quick inspection of the brake components should reveal the problem.
abs should only work when one wheel is sensed to be spinning at a differate rate than the rest,maybe yiu have a a problem with one of your abs sensers or relucter rings also check the likes of wheel bearings etc. for play
You actually have two separate problems. The brake pull to the right is indicating the left side brake is not working properly. You will want to remove the left front wheel, collapse the caliper piston and make sure the caliper is floating freely on its mounts.
With the piston collapsed you should be able to slide the caliper inboard and outboard of the rotor. If not, you will want to remove the attachment pins, clean and lubricate the pins. If they are grooved or worn you will have to replace them.
The second issue of the ABS light is indicating the system has detected an electrical sensing or control problem. Take the vehicle to your local Auto Zone or Advance Auto and ask them to scan the vehicle for trouble codes. They will scan it for you at no charge.
Chances are you will find a wheel speed sensor problem at one of the wheels.
Write the codes down and respond back, we can start diagnosing the problem,
Good luck, let me know.
Regards,
the senser is most likly damaged but the area inwhich you removed the bolt is a thickened area you must take plyers or channel locks place them around the thickened area and easly move left to right once it starts to move continue left to right also start pulling upward this will remove your senser.(most likly the senser is broke on the inside ) you can also take it to your local auto parts store have them to put i on their computer it should tell you what senser is malfuctioning.hope this helps.
I had the same problem and I had to replace the axel bearings, it is most likly a worn out bearing. I would hit the pedal and it would activate the ABS and I would lose braking. The bad bearing is losing grip and telling the computer that the wheel is slipping thus causing the computer to activate the ABS. Bearings cost me 165.00 out the door after taxes. No core value on the old one. this should solve your problem, solved mine. Last note: if you are running anything other than stock tires and rims it will wear out the bearings faster than normal resulting from the change in force applied to the bearing. Hope this all helps.
