Notes
Tips
- ABS light may still be on when you restart the car. Driving for a few minutes should reset the ABS and traction control light if no other issues are present.
- Read codes with an ABS scanner to find out which sensor needs to be replaced. You don't need to replace all four sensors as in most cases only one fails.
- If the old ABS sensor will not come out easily, spray penetrating oil, wait 10 minutes then remove the sensor using pliers.
