Recently, my ABS light came on while driving. After turning off and restarting, the light cleared itself but comes back on occasionally, only going off after shutting the car off. I think it may be an ABS sensor, but then I noticed coming to a complete stop, at the end, it feels like the brakes clench up a bit. Today, the brake indicator on the dash came on, is this a heads up that brakes need to be replaced?

 

Get ABS codes by shorting the Service Check Connector (blue 2-wire connector under glove box) and counting the ABS light flashes (all short flashes). It's a two part code ffff-p-f = code 41. The pause is about same length as flash. There could be multiple codes w/ a long pause separating each code.

Post back your codes and perhaps I or someone else can help.

good luck

 

Exactly how do I short it out?

 

check brake fluid level also to ensure there is enough fluid in there

 

A short jumper is simply a piece of wire connecting both pins of the connector. Install, turn keyswitch to ON, and read ABS flashes.

good luck

 

Thanks for all of your support in the posts, I really appreciate it.
