  • Abs Inop

    I know the light comes on then goes away after start up..but recently the light has been staying on and not going away?

    Anyone want to tellme exactly wtf this damn light means?

    It means that you don't have abs anymore. Just regular brakes, So you will have to pump the brakes yourself if you have to stop hard so your brakes won't lock up. You will have to get the vehicle scanned. Only the large scan tools read abs systems Because there are about 7 or 8 diiferent abs systems being used by the automoaker right now.
    So get the vehicle scanned and the abs trouble code will tell you where the fault is.

      It probably means you have a wheel bearing going bad, but I would have it scanned, autozone/advance cant read ABS/Traction control modules, so maybe some other shop or dealer local to you.

        check the plug in on the hub assembly, the wires could be damaged or it could be unplugged

            ABS sucks anyways...

            Sure, it's a good system - I hate it.

              Same thing happened to my bro's car about 2-3 years ago... We like to joke around and say INOP means "IN OPeration"

                  yeah my ABS INOP light comes up shortly after start... it doesnt work whether the light is on or not... and i havent pulled my fuse but i need to because when the module tests (one time at any given point) it pushes my foot off the brake, and yeah you cant stop at all because it thinks a wheel is locked up... thats why im led to believe its a wheel sensor...
