Good morning Ray, thank you for this. We do our best to give the DIY community all the help we can, many more helpful videos to come! Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club.
Thank you so much. This is my current situation with my Chevy Equinox 2016 that happened today. I panicked and rushed to a local repair shop for a diagnostic and got a quote for $800 to replace the ABS module 🥲🥲. My heart dropped from that shocker. So I resorted to Googling the issue and your TH-cam video popped up for the reset trick so I will definitely try that in the morning. If not, I will refer back to this specific video for additional help. Thank you tons. I will post an updated comment if all is successful either way.🙏🏾

Both my daughters do all their own maintenance and repairs on their vehicles. They grew up helping me in my shop and learned not only how to do a lot of jobs but how to do so safely.
Great presentation. The control circuits on these ABS systems are typically low voltage, low amperage, which means you need to check the ABS Module grounds after you check the fuses, or check the separate voltage values either at the wheels yourself, or the voltages coming into the ABS module while a second person helps you by spinning each separate wheel one-at-a-time, but at a uniform rate. As I understand these systems, the interaction between magnetic part of the sensor assembly and the notches in the rotating wheel on the hub assembly generates the voltage measured as the wheel turns. Trucks are usually exposed to harsher conditions than cars, and exposure of the wheel sensors and connectors to water, sea water at the beach, salted roads, etc. over the years can result in degraded sensors at the wheels, or poor or corroded grounds or bad connections where the system wires connect to the push-on or screw-on connectors. Any of these issues can cause voltage variations that prevent the ABS system from knowing whether or not all 4 wheels are rotating at substantially the same speed, and if the signals aren't the same, the ABS light comes on. The profit margin between replacing the ABS Module and the sensors and sensor wiring on 4 wheels and bleeding or replacing the brake fluid is about $1,000 to 1,500 more than doing the checks he recommended, plus checking the grounds. The ABS module can be replaced with a new one, if necessary, without replacing the valves it is attached to, but it is likely it will have to be re-programmed for your specific vehicle. Programming Specs are often available online, but require special equipment. The alternative is sending a defective ABS module to a specialty shop which can repair the old one, and do any required programming. Costs vary, but usually much cheaper than having a new one programmed and installed - unless you have a shop that does this locally, it can take about ten days to send it and get it back, due to shipping times. P.S. The white illuminated board you have behind you in your videos is interesting, but it leaves your face in the shadows. Viewers like to see faces; something for you to consider.

Overall good video, only one point that I have issue with. The two block fuses are not dealer only and can be purchased at most parts stores and even most Wal-Marts in the automotive section.
Loved the video. Just trying to find ways to check my abs on our Chevy Colorado 2012 ABS system before taking it to a mechanic. Thanks much --great advice on what to check on. Will try what I can.

Thank you, thank you and thank you for making the comments on having a secondary support for a jacked up vehicle. I see so many vids of people working under a vehicle with only one hydraulic support. Especially do not trust a hydraulic jack. My engineer dad and military training drilled this into me for years. It is a golden rule of working on heavy items. A set of jack stands is a cheap safegaurd and way cheaper than a hospital visit or a funeral.The video content on the troubleshooting was great.

2009 Dodge caliber 2.0 ABS light came on. Lifted front end up and ran it to 50 mph and listened for bad bearing. Sounded fine both sides. Checked each back tire and turned by hand and all seemed fine for noise. Grabbed each tire and wiggled and evrything seems tight. Asked my son about the tire pressure and found that all the tires were at 25 to 27 psi. Filled all tires to 33 psi and we took it for a run. Guess what the abs light went out. Completely surprised me. Check your air pressure of the tires first. It was a very simple fix............................................

2006 Toyota Highlander 3.3L gas. I'm having an ABS issue, which I was told by my mechanic, that the first step is to replace the abs module. I'm getting the following codes C1223, U0073, U0123, U0124, U0126, C0371, and C1281 I can't find anyone that will rebuild my abs module. I understand they are extremely expensive at the dealer and I believe they are discontinued. I thought about buying a used one, but I don't know where to get it reprogrammed. I heard the dealers don't reprogram them unless it's a new one. Does anyone know where I can get it rebuilt? Oh by the way, the issue that started all of this was the day after bought it. It drove fine at the dealership and the next day, i was on a busy road and all of a sudden it lost power while accelerating and I would have to push the accelerator down all the way just for it to move 10 mph. The abs lights came on and the traction control as well. I'd appreciate any advice. The shady dealership told me I had a 1 week/1000 mile warranty that if ANY THING went wrong that they'll fix it. I called them and they said to look at my paperwork that I bought it as is and they refused to help me in any way. I did take them to court and won. I received a full refund and I was able to keep the car for free, minus the $750 I had to pay an attorney.
Greaat Great video........... I love youtube - SO educational. This Video was concise clear sooo helpful. Thank you to all you guys/gals for educating the rest of us.

Most fuse / relay blocks have a fuse pulling / insertion tool tucked away somewhere. Hard tools can easily break the fuse. But a great, easy video to follow. Thanks
Much easier to use needle nose pliers, very carefully as stated. Those little tools don't always work they great - especially in tight quarters. Use what works best for you.
Great video. Very clear and concise. I have a 2009 F 250 and my ABS light comes on intermittently. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern to it. The brakes are working fine without the ABS. I bought a Blue driver scanner and I’m getting code C1096 Pump Motor Open Circuit. I’m going to dive in on this next week, but was wondering if because it is intermittent, do you have any insights?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s try something. We recommend filling all four of your tires back up to its proper psi. See if this registers & runs off ABS light. Keep us posted. Enjoy your night! 😎👍🔧🔩
Brilliant bit of information. I had a passenger front sensor come up so it was replaced and one 15 minutes later after leaving the garage the ABS came on again and now it says the driver side rear sensor needs replacing. Could that be possible ? Or could it be the fuse or abs module ? Thanks
Question. My 1992 LT1 Corvette , has a problem. For the life of me I cannot spin or smoke my tires. The emergency brake warning light is always on. So I checked The brake fluid which is full,I changed all four of the brake pads on the entire car and the light is still on I also checked the wheel sensors some of them had rust buildup on them but I cleaned them going back in so why the hell cant I spend the tires on a Corvette. What is the use of owning a Corvette if you can’t smoke the tires that’s my problem I’ve been building dragon jeans for my older cars but I can’t figure out the brake light is unbelievable but he’s got an idea what it is let me know because I don’t see nothing on TH-cam about it I even called the dealership and they won’t tell me they want me to bring the car in to take my money that shit ain’t going to happen. When I bought this Corvette I didn’t even realize until I lifted the hood after I got home there’s a Optispark distributor what kind of crap is that what’s a matter with the old Style ones on top of the back of the engine.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. An OBD scanner can help pinpoint the exact part that is causing issues to your brake system. AutoZone will read your fault codes for 100% free.
Absolutely, just another useless invention to screw money out of us. Abs light can come on but there's nothing wrong with wheel rotation, it's all down to a damaged or failed senser or it's associated parts.
Yep. I’m 18 my car’s ABS has been out for three months now, best believe I’m not buying a new abs motor/pump for $200 if you can drive with it you can drive without it
Just installed the wrong bearing on a 2003 element awd and it has abs now I have the abs light on but even before that I had it on, and before that I was borrowing my brother's 1976 vw bug...we definitely don't need abs we need people being are of how to drive the car properly. I've seen people with abs hydroplane or crash even with the abs engaged. Abs doesn't fix idiots
Awesome information/tutorial, the only observation I want to make is that not all abs systems are the same there are different cars that have different abs systems.

This is very good tutorial on abs light on. My question is am rx 300,1999 model having same abs light on and speedometer not working what can I do pls but the transmission gear still working.
I could argue there’s FAR more than 4 causes of an ABS malfunction. Caliper pistons, low brake fluid level/fluid leak, intermittent connectivity with either power or ground wires, low battery voltage, bent rims or fix-a-flat, the abs module might need re-calibration, bad MAF or MAP or crank or cam sensors….the list goes on and on and on…..it’s a sophisticated system.
Could you tell me why my ABS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS....THEY SAID THEY PUT ON A NEW SUPENSION RACK. PUT A FRONT GASKET ON......THEY ARGUE ITS MY WORD AGAINST THEIR MECHANIC.... MY LIGHT WASNT ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN
@@lajunecrockett2381 some ABS systems read sensors on the suspensions system as well. If that’s the case then every time the car is lifted off the ground the ABS light will turn on. Usually knowing which ABS code is causing the light to come on is the first step.
Wow just have to say. Props for trying to help as many people as possible in the comments. Like wow you’re amazing dude. If you’re still answering questions, I have one. So my car has had the traction light on for a bit, but sometimes when I’m driving, abs and break lights turn on. Also, my car just started moving the speed diameter up and down in the middle of driving. The car feels perfectly fine, but, kinda scare about this symptoms. Already took it too a shop, but they couldn’t fix the problem and I have nooo idea what it might be. I am willing to pay for a abs module but idk if that’ll be the problem
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured out. A few things to do. 1. Verify all 4 tire pressure reading are set to manufacturers recommended psi. Believe it or not, low tire pressure can trigger abs in newer modern vehicles. 2. If you live in snowy areas, snow, ice, water, & moisture can sneak into abs sensor electrical connection points. This leads to abs turning on. In this case, disconnecting electrical connection and cleaning/drying will hopefully help. Let’s start there. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thank you and yes. all tires are set to manufacturers specs. Also, idk when people say new because i have mostly owned old cars lol. The car having this problem is my 2012 Dodge Avenger and i live in Arizona where the lowest we get is 40F and a high of 118. So maybe the second step would be ruled out? or would you still recommend me checking it out? Also have switched most of the fuses in the fuze box. Now, i didnt touch those big square fuzes found in the box (sorry dont know the mechanic lingo lol)
@@MooseX2012 Thanks for the reply & is your ABS light illuminated on instrument cluster? If yes, you may want to visit your local AutoZone & have then read your ABS error codes. They do this for free. Obtaining the error codes will hopefully help pinpoint the part causing your issues.
PERFECT video! My Mitsubishi outlander 2010 is recently showing ABS light issue. It is coming on and off on the dashboard. When it is on, then ACS off light turns on. The car is running well so far, no brake issue whatsoever with ABS light on. I have driven 5K+ miles with ABS light on. I got P1773 and C2116 codes. How serious is that?
Hello. I have a 2014 Jeep Sahara with 7000 miles .I pressed the ESC button by accident when I was cleaning. The ABS light and ESC light came on. When I pulled away the left front wheel dragged and then released. This happens @ every start. What can I do. Thank you John .
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club John. We would start by doing a Reset. We recommend disconnecting the negative cable from your battery and leaving disconnected for a minimum of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, resecure negative cable to your battery and see if your system has reconfigured properly. 😎👍🔧🔩
That's excellent. I ll try all of these and see if the ABS and break light go off on my Toyota Prius V 2013 . I changed my break pads and the light is still on . thank you. I subscribed
I have a 2001 Toyota Camry, and my abs light goes off whenever I hit bumps on the road and my car brakes stutters. My car has already turned off completely due to this problem. Is something loose in my car
would like to know why the u0401 and c056e codes are present and replaced the control module and the sensor under the truck reprogramed but still abs light and these codes can you help
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. This may sound funny however we recommend verifying all 4 of your tires have the proper psi in them. We recommend filling them to the manufactures recommended max which can be found on the sidewall of your tires. By chance do you know when the last time your suspension was aligned buy a professional shop? Believe it or not, something so simple as unbalanced tires can trip your ABS system. 😎👍🔧🔩
Thank you. Great video. My old honda odyssey recently showed an ABS light on along with other lights. After stopping at traffic light, my car won't accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. Do you think that would be the only problem? What would be the expected cost to repair each individual issue vs changing the whole ABS unit together? Here in CA prices can vary so much, price gouging is so common. I recently brought a 2013 escalade to the shop and they told me my rotor and axel in the back wheels have to be replaced, and I paid $6.5K for it. I am scared to bring my car to any mechanic worrying they are going to ask me to pay $2K for this issue.
Thank you for this video. I have a unique problem that has stumped 3 mechanics and at least 2 really good computer coders.. My truck (2008 Chevy Express 1500 Cargo Van) had a problem that was traced to the throttle body harness. It was crimped. Replaced and 4 new tire sensors as well. Problem I experienced was check engine light and van putt'd & sputtered. Towed to mechanic and above fixes. Since then (3 months) intermittent ABS/Emergency brake light comes on and stays on for either a couple hours or all day. I have since noticed the check engine light periodically coming on at the same time. It eventually goes out, as do the other 2 lights. Today, I had to be towed. The van was showing signs of putt'n & sputtering while sitting idle. All the lights mentioned were on. My last stop I noticed the van felt as if it wanted to surge slightly while in gear and brakes applied. The speedometer was fluctuating up and down as well. Once under power the check engine light started flashing and I lost power. After shutting engine off and starting again...check engine light solid. Once under power for less than 1 minute...check engine light began flashing and loss of power. Mechanic is stumped. Any chance you've encountered this situation? Kim D.
Hi. i have an abs esp fault. i have had it plugged into a computer and the fault says front right speed sensor. I replaced this, check the wiring for freys. also i replaced the full hub. fuses too. unfortunately the fault still comes on? it's intermittent
I BELIEVE ON SOME OF THE NEWEST VEHICLE, you WILL HAVE To REPLACE ALL SENSORS ON ALL WHEELS. Because they are programming the computers to not allow just one to be replaced. Same with Coils packs, etc. I know many of you will claim thats not true. Yes on older cars and trucks. But the newest cars they have made it so you will just go buy a new car instead of repairing.

Great video. Based on comments here and elsewhere, it seems almost inevitable a mechanic or dealership tells you it is the module, big ticket item which is the problem. You want to get a kick? Next time you talk to the guy at the service desk, work into the conversation how you have researched your problem on YT and then look at their reaction. It's facial because they don't respond verbally.
Great video, I have a Ford explorer sport Trac 2008 and I recently replaced my tires of the vehicle and it recently started to turn on my abs light once I speed up to 15 mph, breaks work perfectly fine with no issue so I'm stumped as to why, I'm unsure if wheel unalignment may also have something to do with it.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. You mentioned you just recently replaced tires. Believe it or not, it may be as simple as bringing your air pressure inside your tire up to the recommended max psi. Please keep us posted.

Thanks for watching & that’s odd. When your engine is off & key removed from ignition, the light is still illuminated? Do you have automatic headlights that turn on when engine is running and then turn off when engine is off?
Don’t forget about BUS problems! All sensors, fuses and modules can be good but a bus / electrical issue is always possible. Can test that issue through testing for power through you’re harness or splice packs!
Wouldn't it be easier to check the fuses first since that is really quick? It would suck if you inspected all 4 wheels and then found out it was a blown fuse. Also, shouldn't you check the fuses electrically with an Ohm meter ?
I have Ford Focus showing 2 ABS sensor errors. Testing the plugs, 2 are 12v, 2 are 9v. The wire from ABS module to sensors are in tact and i tested they carry 12v. So the ABS module is outputting 9v. Is it likely the electrics in the Module or something else? Maybe fuse box?
Hello, I have a 2005 Chevy Colorado, and I have a ABS fault, traction control fault, stability control fault, all going off and has shut down my traction control and ABS. I have checked the rings, replaced the sensors, cleaned all connectors, and checked fuses. I got the truck from my brother who has had problems with the abs and traction control ever since he bought the truck. He actually had wheels lock up on him driving down the highway, after replacing the sensors it was running fine, then when we were driving we noticed one wheel started dragging and the front right wheel started grabbing spirraticaly. We cleaned the rings and sensors and it stopped but then suddenly threw 3 faults and we can't figure out why, please help have no idea where to turn.

I have a 1995 E320 Mercedes Cabriolet convertible that has both the ABS and the ASR lights are on. There are no error codes to reset even when you run an error code check reader. Took it to a Mercedes dealer and they had it all day while I waited for the car. They were unable to fix it and could not reset the error codes cause there aren't any. They also couldn't tell me what was wrong with car, no charge either, still not fixed. After I got the car back I took the wheel sensors out and cleaned them and the wheel spacers too, with no luck. What would you suggest?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Any update? We recommend checking inside speed sensor electrical connection point. Verify it is clean & dry...no moisture, no rust or corrosion...& definitely no signs of over-applied dielectric grease...that can cause all kinds of issues. Double check your fuse box to ensure any and all fuses related to your ABS system are properly secured and have no moisture or corrosion on the leads. Let’s start there, keep us posted. Let’s get this figured out. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together!
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thank you for your reply. All of the fuses were replaced with the copper ones the original ones as you know were aluminum. There is no separate fuse listed on the fuse box diagram either. I thought of replacing just the wheel sensor wiring but they are no longer available from Mercedes, and no after market either. Now what?
Thank you this very informative video ii do hope i can get some help with my question which is; my abs light stays off when i start the car with my foot on the break pedal but as soon as i release the pedal my abs light comes on. Help me please. Toyota 4runner 2000 limited 3.4L

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge of vehicle repair with the world. My ABS light has been on (steady) since I had my tires replaced 3wks ago, getting ready for winter. For two days, the the ABS activates, showing a car skidding icon (on completely dry asphalt here) and the gas pedal loses pressure. It activates every time I have to start it up (minimum of 6x daily) and today it happened while I was facing oncoming traffic. Can you please tell me which of the 4 reasons explains the issue my 07' Lincoln Navigator L is having? Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured out. You mentioned tire service recently. Believe it or not, low tire pressure can trigger ABS light. We recommend checking the sidewall of your tire for the proper psi and filling your tires to that psi. Go for a test drive and see if this turns off your ABS. Keep us posted, us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together! 😎👍🔧🔩
I had a blow out on Tuesday. I ended up replacing all tires. I have the same issue that you described. The gas pedal acts up once when I start the vehicle, then it is OK the rest of the drive. Did you get it figured out?

@@BatmanVMMA please can you update this thread when you check the codes given. Currently in EXACTLY same situation. Blown tires > tires replaced > then ABS light.
@@charleseke7341 I used a code reader and there was a code. I think it was C0055 or something like that. The code reader told me the rear passenger tire speed sensor something something... I forgot exactly what it said, but I cleared it and it hasn't come back on. When I inspected the sensor, the blow out rubbed off some of the plastic coating on the wiring. I used some shrink wrap stuff on it. Hope this helps.

@@dracony7649 Good morning ☕️ any update? It’s possible that the lighting for that indicator has burnt out however that is very uncommon and not likely the case. We recommend disconnecting the black negative cable from your battery and leaving disconnected for a minimum of five minutes. This will allow your system to perform a full electrical system reset. After five minutes, resecure black negative cable to battery and check electrical system by turning the key on, followed by starting the engine. This reset will hopefully remove any electrical glitches or malfunctions within the system and get your computer back to proper in normal configuration.
I have a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3, and my ABS lite come on frequently but never on constant and I've replaced the module also but that was a waste of time and money. When I finally went to another mechanic, he showed me that it's not showing any codes on his scanner. Any ideas on how to tackle this problem?
All 4 brakes and rotors were replaced on the car. Neither the ABS or Traction Control lights were on before they were replaced by the shop. I tried to do the quick reset, but that didn't work. Any ideas, I checked the first 3 common causes from this video and then all looked good. Thanks
Thanks for watching & we appreciate you sharing this. That’s no fun. We have attached a quick DIY reset procedure that may help... it’s possible that it’s the same reset procedure that the shop did. th-cam.com/video/Fu47rWAD30k/w-d-xo.html If this does not work, you may want to disconnect the black negative terminal to your battery and leave disconnected for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will allow your system to complete a full reset. After 30 minutes, re-secure cable to battery and see if your error codes are no longer illuminated. 😎👍🔧🔩

I just had to replace both wheel hubs and the rotors, pads, and calipers on my 08 Colorado and the ABS and Fault light are still on. How do I get them to go out or do they go out on their own after driving it?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Below is a link to a video that shows removing pads & rotors. th-cam.com/video/S0temq1xiQg/w-d-xo.html We are removing the pads and rotors during a hub assembly replacement. 😎👍🔧🔩
Thanks for watching, any update on your findings…? It’s likely that you have a damaged caliper and piston. It’s also likely that you have an electrical issue within your ABS module. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Hi I have a holden captiva which I replaced the abs module due to dealer scanned it and said will need to replace so I used 2nd hand one just wondering as the abs lights are still on will it need to be reset or programed ?
Good morning ☕️ Awesome job making it a DIY project. A reset procedure is recommended, and it may be as simple as just disconnecting the black negative cable from your battery and leaving it disconnected for a minimum of five minutes. 👍🧰

Ran into video and I’m in desperate need of advice. I’ve got a 2006 gmc savanna 3500 it’s not a van it’s a U-Haul truck I’ve been been through 3 transmission and every last one has gone bad. I did notice one thing when they put my 2nd one in my ABS and emergency light came on and my speedometer stop working it’s bottom out to 0mph there has been time where I’ve pass by a pot hold and it’ll trigger something and make it work again but it’ll only reach to 40mph and dye again. I’ve also notice that when the abs and the break light doesn’t appear on my dash the transmission shifts good my question to you is you think it’s the abs module? Can it trigger transmission to act up?
@@sanchezerick8377 Thanks for watching, any update? That’s a bummer you have been through two transmissions already and onto your third. Hopefully the electrical wiring for your speedometer was not damaged during one of the transmission swaps. It’s possible that it’s the ABS module however, unlikely…🤔 When was the last time you disconnected the black negative cable as well as the red positive cable and left disconnected for a minimum of 30 minutes? This will allow your system to perform a full reset.
I turned off my car after getting 4 lights on it and when i turned it back on all the lights were gone (including abs). Could rain cause something like this to happen?
Thanks for watching, rain can definitely lead to trapped moisture inside a wheel speed sensor. That’s up there with the top common cause issue that triggers ABS light to illuminate.
Great video. Is it possible for the ABS moduel to go bad and need to be replaced without the need to replace the speed sensors or the exciter magnetic rings?
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders.Mike Thanks for your reply. I need your help in understanding what is going on with my car and truly be thankful for your input. I have a 2012 Hundai Sonota. A few weeks ago Bunch of engin lights including ABS light (intermittently) were coming on. I took it to a Hundai dealer to have it checked. They told me this is electrical related issue and to diagnose the issue it will cost me $180. I agreed. After a few days their service called and said they have checked all the components that they thought could be causing this but haven't been able to pinpoint it and need to do further diagnostic work and it will cost me more money to do that. I agreed. After a few days they called and said they have determined the cause for this issue is a bad ABS moduel ...the cost will be 500 for diagnostic wk + $1300 to replace it. I agreed. I Had no other choice!! They called me yesterday and said they have installed the new ABS moduel and all engin lights except for the ABS is gone. They said that they have checked everything and found one of the wheel sensor is messed up and it is likely that this is what has created the issue with the ABS moduel in the first place!!! So they are replacing the bad wheel sensor as well. Mike, at this point, I am having a hard time accepting the accuracy of their initial diagnosis and don't know what to do. My question is can the messed up wheel sensor be the actual culprit to begin with and that the ABS moduel was never bad and didn't need to be replaced at all? Or can they both go bad? Or can a bad wheel sensor as they have told her damage the ABS moduel. Don't mechanic use an advanced OBD2 reader that can pinpoint weather it is ABS moduel or speed senors? I feel like if the ABS was never faulty they should not be charging me the $1300 for replacing it and only charge me for replacing the bad wheel sensor. What do you think? Also, if one wheel sensor is bad, should I replace all 4 sensors now.
@@meshkatassian8946 We are honored to help and that’s a bummer that you have had to experience this in recent days and weeks. To answer your question, yes 100%! It is 100% possible that a faulty wheel speed sensor can trigger the ABS light. To answer your question further about if the speed sensor can be the original culprit while the ABS module still good…Yes, it is possible that your original ABS module was A-ok and not faulty however we can’t personally confirm that…but…it is more common for a speed sensor to fail and trigger the ABS light…as opposed to the module failing. Hope this help. 🧰
Thanks Mike... It is so heart warming to get your input... As I have said earlier, The shop is telling me that the ABS moduel was faulty that is why it was replaced. In addition they say that the messed up wheel sensor is what has caused the ABS moduel to go bad!!! Mike, Can a bad wheel sensor as they have told me (damage) the ABS moduel? Don't mechanic use an advanced OBD2 reader that can pinpoint whether it is ABS moduel or speed senors? Or both? What can I asked the mechanics to show me to assure me that the original ABS moduel was indeed faulty and needed to be replaced? I feel now that they have replaced the $1000 ABS moduel they are trying to justify their repair work by saying that the messed up sensor has damaged the moduel!!!
@@meshkatassian8946 Thanks for the reply, we are always happy to help. Will a speed sensor ultimately cause an ABS module to fail…it’s possible…however we have never heard of that happening…🤔 We don’t know all the ins-and-outs of what the shop diagnosed and because of that…can’t give you a definite answer. But again, we have never seen a wheel speed sensor being the sole pinpointed culprit of an ABS module failure. 🧰
I need to completely clean out my brake lines from contaminated fluid. I want to blow break cleaner through the lines but will it mess up my abs? What to do? On a 2004 civic, discovered daughter put power steering fluid in the master cylinder.

Welcome to the DIY Raptor Club.
Thank you so much. This is my current situation with my Chevy Equinox 2016 that happened today. I panicked and rushed to a local repair shop for a diagnostic and got a quote for $800 to replace the ABS module 🥲🥲. My heart dropped from that shocker.
So I resorted to Googling the issue and your TH-cam video popped up for the reset trick so I will definitely try that in the morning. If not, I will refer back to this specific video for additional help.
Thank you tons. I will post an updated comment if all is successful either way.🙏🏾

Both my daughters do all their own maintenance and repairs on their vehicles. They grew up helping me in my shop and learned not only how to do a lot of jobs but how to do so safely.
Great presentation.
The control circuits on these ABS systems are typically low voltage, low amperage, which means you need to check the ABS Module grounds after you check the fuses, or check the separate voltage values either at the wheels yourself, or the voltages coming into the ABS module while a second person helps you by spinning each separate wheel one-at-a-time, but at a uniform rate. As I understand these systems, the interaction between magnetic part of the sensor assembly and the notches in the rotating wheel on the hub assembly generates the voltage measured as the wheel turns. Trucks are usually exposed to harsher conditions than cars, and exposure of the wheel sensors and connectors to water, sea water at the beach, salted roads, etc. over the years can result in degraded sensors at the wheels, or poor or corroded grounds or bad connections where the system wires connect to the push-on or screw-on connectors. Any of these issues can cause voltage variations that prevent the ABS system from knowing whether or not all 4 wheels are rotating at substantially the same speed, and if the signals aren't the same, the ABS light comes on.
The profit margin between replacing the ABS Module and the sensors and sensor wiring on 4 wheels and bleeding or replacing the brake fluid is about $1,000 to 1,500 more than doing the checks he recommended, plus checking the grounds. The ABS module can be replaced with a new one, if necessary, without replacing the valves it is attached to, but it is likely it will have to be re-programmed for your specific vehicle. Programming Specs are often available online, but require special equipment. The alternative is sending a defective ABS module to a specialty shop which can repair the old one, and do any required programming. Costs vary, but usually much cheaper than having a new one programmed and installed - unless you have a shop that does this locally, it can take about ten days to send it and get it back, due to shipping times.

2009 Dodge caliber 2.0 ABS light came on. Lifted front end up and ran it to 50 mph and listened for bad bearing. Sounded fine both sides. Checked each back tire and turned by hand and all seemed fine for noise. Grabbed each tire and wiggled and evrything seems tight. Asked my son about the tire pressure and found that all the tires were at 25 to 27 psi. Filled all tires to 33 psi and we took it for a run. Guess what the abs light went out. Completely surprised me.
Check your air pressure of the tires first. It was a very simple fix............................................

2006 Toyota Highlander 3.3L gas. I'm having an ABS issue, which I was told by my mechanic, that the first step is to replace the abs module. I'm getting the following codes C1223, U0073, U0123, U0124, U0126, C0371, and C1281 I can't find anyone that will rebuild my abs module. I understand they are extremely expensive at the dealer and I believe they are discontinued. I thought about buying a used one, but I don't know where to get it reprogrammed. I heard the dealers don't reprogram them unless it's a new one. Does anyone know where I can get it rebuilt? Oh by the way, the issue that started all of this was the day after bought it. It drove fine at the dealership and the next day, i was on a busy road and all of a sudden it lost power while accelerating and I would have to push the accelerator down all the way just for it to move 10 mph. The abs lights came on and the traction control as well. I'd appreciate any advice. The shady dealership told me I had a 1 week/1000 mile warranty that if ANY THING went wrong that they'll fix it. I called them and they said to look at my paperwork that I bought it as is and they refused to help me in any way. I did take them to court and won. I received a full refund and I was able to keep the car for free, minus the $750 I had to pay an attorney.

Much easier to use needle nose pliers, very carefully as stated. Those little tools don't always work they great - especially in tight quarters. Use what works best for you.
Great video. Very clear and concise. I have a 2009 F 250 and my ABS light comes on intermittently. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern to it. The brakes are working fine without the ABS. I bought a Blue driver scanner and I’m getting code C1096 Pump Motor Open Circuit. I’m going to dive in on this next week, but was wondering if because it is intermittent, do you have any insights?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s try something. We recommend filling all four of your tires back up to its proper psi. See if this registers & runs off ABS light. Keep us posted.

Brilliant bit of information. I had a passenger front sensor come up so it was replaced and one 15 minutes later after leaving the garage the ABS came on again and now it says the driver side rear sensor needs replacing. Could that be possible ? Or could it be the fuse or abs module ? Thanks
Question. My 1992 LT1 Corvette , has a problem. For the life of me I cannot spin or smoke my tires. The emergency brake warning light is always on. So I checked The brake fluid which is full,I changed all four of the brake pads on the entire car and the light is still on I also checked the wheel sensors some of them had rust buildup on them but I cleaned them going back in so why the hell cant I spend the tires on a Corvette. What is the use of owning a Corvette if you can’t smoke the tires that’s my problem I’ve been building dragon jeans for my older cars but I can’t figure out the brake light is unbelievable but he’s got an idea what it is let me know because I don’t see nothing on TH-cam about it I even called the dealership and they won’t tell me they want me to bring the car in to take my money that shit ain’t going to happen. When I bought this Corvette I didn’t even realize until I lifted the hood after I got home there’s a Optispark distributor what kind of crap is that what’s a matter with the old Style ones on top of the back of the engine.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. An OBD scanner can help pinpoint the exact part that is causing issues to your brake system.

for over 50 years cars operated without abs . we don't need it Ralph Nader.
Absolutely, just another useless invention to screw money out of us. Abs light can come on but there's nothing wrong with wheel rotation, it's all down to a damaged or failed senser or it's associated parts.
Yep. I’m 18 my car’s ABS has been out for three months now, best believe I’m not buying a new abs motor/pump for $200 if you can drive with it you can drive without it
It put my car in limp mode so I need it lol
I recently bought a car and bypassed the ABS system and now the brakes are working better than when I got it 😊
Just installed the wrong bearing on a 2003 element awd and it has abs now I have the abs light on but even before that I had it on, and before that I was borrowing my brother's 1976 vw bug...we definitely don't need abs we need people being are of how to drive the car properly. I've seen people with abs hydroplane or crash even with the abs engaged. Abs doesn't fix idiots

I could argue there’s FAR more than 4 causes of an ABS malfunction. Caliper pistons, low brake fluid level/fluid leak, intermittent connectivity with either power or ground wires, low battery voltage, bent rims or fix-a-flat, the abs module might need re-calibration, bad MAF or MAP or crank or cam sensors….the list goes on and on and on…..it’s a sophisticated system.
Definitely, we appreciate you watching and sharing this. Any and all helpful info is greatly appreciated. 😎👍
“4 most COMMON”… if you are arguing which 4 were chosen, then specify that.
Otherwise work on your reading comprehension.
@@aaroncalhoun9825 technically you’re correct. I was trying to shed a light on the 4,000 other non-common causes of ABS malfunction.
Could you tell me why my ABS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS....THEY SAID THEY PUT ON A NEW SUPENSION RACK. PUT A FRONT GASKET ON......THEY ARGUE ITS MY WORD AGAINST THEIR MECHANIC.... MY LIGHT WASNT ON WHEN I TOOK IT IN
@@lajunecrockett2381 some ABS systems read sensors on the suspensions system as well. If that’s the case then every time the car is lifted off the ground the ABS light will turn on. Usually knowing which ABS code is causing the light to come on is the first step.
Wow just have to say. Props for trying to help as many people as possible in the comments. Like wow you’re amazing dude. If you’re still answering questions, I have one.
So my car has had the traction light on for a bit, but sometimes when I’m driving, abs and break lights turn on. Also, my car just started moving the speed diameter up and down in the middle of driving. The car feels perfectly fine, but, kinda scare about this symptoms. Already took it too a shop, but they couldn’t fix the problem and I have nooo idea what it might be.
I am willing to pay for a abs module but idk if that’ll be the problem
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured out. A few things to do.
1. Verify all 4 tire pressure reading are set to manufacturers recommended psi. Believe it or not, low tire pressure can trigger abs in newer modern vehicles.
2. If you live in snowy areas, snow, ice, water, & moisture can sneak into abs sensor electrical connection points. This leads to abs turning on. In this case, disconnecting electrical connection and cleaning/drying will hopefully help.
Let’s start there. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thank you and yes. all tires are set to manufacturers specs. Also, idk when people say new because i have mostly owned old cars lol. The car having this problem is my 2012 Dodge Avenger and i live in Arizona where the lowest we get is 40F and a high of 118. So maybe the second step would be ruled out? or would you still recommend me checking it out?
Also have switched most of the fuses in the fuze box. Now, i didnt touch those big square fuzes found in the box (sorry dont know the mechanic lingo lol)
@@MooseX2012
Thanks for the reply & is your ABS light illuminated on instrument cluster? If yes, you may want to visit your local AutoZone & have then read your ABS error codes. They do this for free.
Obtaining the error codes will hopefully help pinpoint the part causing your issues.
PERFECT video! My Mitsubishi outlander 2010 is recently showing ABS light issue. It is coming on and off on the dashboard. When it is on, then ACS off light turns on. The car is running well so far, no brake issue whatsoever with ABS light on. I have driven 5K+ miles with ABS light on. I got P1773 and C2116 codes. How serious is that?

can you help
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. This may sound funny however we recommend verifying all 4 of your tires have the proper psi in them.
We recommend filling them to the manufactures recommended max which can be found on the sidewall of your tires. By chance do you know when the last time your suspension was aligned buy a professional shop? Believe it or not, something so simple as unbalanced tires can trip your ABS system.

Thank you. Great video. My old honda odyssey recently showed an ABS light on along with other lights. After stopping at traffic light, my car won't accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. Do you think that would be the only problem? What would be the expected cost to repair each individual issue vs changing the whole ABS unit together? Here in CA prices can vary so much, price gouging is so common. I recently brought a 2013 escalade to the shop and they told me my rotor and axel in the back wheels have to be replaced, and I paid $6.5K for it. I am scared to bring my car to any mechanic worrying they are going to ask me to pay $2K for this issue.

Thank you for this video.
I have a unique problem that has stumped 3 mechanics and at least 2 really good computer coders..
My truck (2008 Chevy Express 1500 Cargo Van) had a problem that was traced to the throttle body harness. It was crimped. Replaced and 4 new tire sensors as well.
Problem I experienced was check engine light and van putt'd & sputtered. Towed to mechanic and above fixes.
Since then (3 months) intermittent ABS/Emergency brake light comes on and stays on for either a couple hours or all day. I have since noticed the check engine light periodically coming on at the same time. It eventually goes out, as do the other 2 lights.
Today, I had to be towed. The van was showing signs of putt'n & sputtering while sitting idle. All the lights mentioned were on. My last stop I noticed the van felt as if it wanted to surge slightly while in gear and brakes applied. The speedometer was fluctuating up and down as well. Once under power the check engine light started flashing and I lost power. After shutting engine off and starting again...check engine light solid. Once under power for less than 1 minute...check engine light began flashing and loss of power.
Mechanic is stumped. Any chance you've encountered this situation?

I BELIEVE ON SOME OF THE NEWEST VEHICLE, you WILL HAVE To REPLACE ALL SENSORS ON ALL WHEELS. Because they are programming the computers to not allow just one to be replaced. Same with Coils packs, etc. I know many of you will claim thats not true. Yes on older cars and trucks. But the newest cars they have made it so you will just go buy a new car instead of repairing.

Hello, I have a 2005 Chevy Colorado, and I have a ABS fault, traction control fault, stability control fault, all going off and has shut down my traction control and ABS. I have checked the rings, replaced the sensors, cleaned all connectors, and checked fuses. I got the truck from my brother who has had problems with the abs and traction control ever since he bought the truck. He actually had wheels lock up on him driving down the highway, after replacing the sensors it was running fine, then when we were driving we noticed one wheel started dragging and the front right wheel started grabbing spirraticaly. We cleaned the rings and sensors and it stopped but then suddenly threw 3 faults and we can't figure out why, please help have no idea where to turn.

I have a 1995 E320 Mercedes Cabriolet convertible that has both the ABS and the ASR lights are on.
There are no error codes to reset even when you run an error code check reader. Took it to a
Mercedes dealer and they had it all day while I waited for the car. They were unable to fix it and
could not reset the error codes cause there aren't any. They also couldn't tell me what was wrong
with car, no charge either, still not fixed. After I got the car back I took the wheel sensors out and
cleaned them and the wheel spacers too, with no luck. What would you suggest?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Any update?
We recommend checking inside speed sensor electrical connection point. Verify it is clean & dry...no moisture, no rust or corrosion...& definitely no signs of over-applied dielectric grease...that can cause all kinds of issues.
Double check your fuse box to ensure any and all fuses related to your ABS system are properly secured and have no moisture or corrosion on the leads.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thank you for your reply. All of the fuses were replaced
with the copper ones the original ones as you know were aluminum. There is no

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge of vehicle repair with the world. My ABS light has been on (steady) since I had my tires replaced 3wks ago, getting ready for winter. For two days, the the ABS activates, showing a car skidding icon (on completely dry asphalt here) and the gas pedal loses pressure. It activates every time I have to start it up (minimum of 6x daily) and today it happened while I was facing oncoming traffic. Can you please tell me which of the 4 reasons explains the issue my 07' Lincoln Navigator L is having? Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured out.
You mentioned tire service recently. Believe it or not, low tire pressure can trigger ABS light.

@@dracony7649
Good morning ☕️ any update?
It’s possible that the lighting for that indicator has burnt out however that is very uncommon and not likely the case.
We recommend disconnecting the black negative cable from your battery and leaving disconnected for a minimum of five minutes.
This will allow your system to perform a full electrical system reset. After five minutes, resecure black negative cable to battery and check electrical system by turning the key on, followed by starting the engine.
This reset will hopefully remove any electrical glitches or malfunctions within the system and get your computer back to proper in normal configuration.

Non of my abs works. Is it dangerous to still drive. ?
I have a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3, and my ABS lite come on frequently but never on constant and I've replaced the module also but that was a waste of time and money. When I finally went to another mechanic, he showed me that it's not showing any codes on his scanner. Any ideas on how to tackle this problem?
All 4 brakes and rotors were replaced on the car. Neither the ABS or Traction Control lights were on before they were replaced by the shop. I tried to do the quick reset, but that didn't work. Any ideas, I checked the first 3 common causes from this video and then all looked good. Thanks

If this does not work, you may want to disconnect the black negative terminal to your battery and leave disconnected for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will allow your system to complete a full reset.
After 30 minutes, re-secure cable to battery and see if your error codes are no longer illuminated.

Ran into video and I’m in desperate need of advice. I’ve got a 2006 gmc savanna 3500 it’s not a van it’s a U-Haul truck I’ve been been through 3 transmission and every last one has gone bad. I did notice one thing when they put my 2nd one in my ABS and emergency light came on and my speedometer stop working it’s bottom out to 0mph there has been time where I’ve pass by a pot hold and it’ll trigger something and make it work again but it’ll only reach to 40mph and dye again. I’ve also notice that when the abs and the break light doesn’t appear on my dash the transmission shifts good my question to you is you think it’s the abs module? Can it trigger transmission to act up?

I turned off my car after getting 4 lights on it and when i turned it back on all the lights were gone (including abs). Could rain cause something like this to happen?
Thanks for watching, rain can definitely lead to trapped moisture inside a wheel speed sensor.

Great video. Is it possible for the ABS moduel to go bad and need to be replaced without the need to replace the speed sensors or the exciter magnetic rings?
@@meshkatassian8946
Thanks for watching, definitely a possibility that we can’t rule out as a cause. 👍
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders.Mike Thanks for your reply. I need your help in understanding what is going on with my car and truly be thankful for your input.
I have a 2012 Hundai Sonota. A few weeks ago Bunch of engin lights including ABS light (intermittently) were coming on. I took it to a Hundai dealer to have it checked.
They told me this is electrical related issue and to diagnose the issue it will cost me $180. I agreed. After a few days their service called and said they have checked all the components that they thought could be causing this but haven't been able to pinpoint it and need to do further diagnostic work and it will cost me more money to do that. I agreed. After a few days they called and said they have determined the cause for this issue is a bad ABS moduel ...the cost will be 500 for diagnostic wk + $1300 to replace it. I agreed. I Had no other choice!!
They called me yesterday and said they have installed the new ABS moduel and all engin lights except for the ABS is gone. They said that they have checked everything and found one of the wheel sensor is messed up and it is likely that this is what has created the issue with the ABS moduel in the first place!!!
So they are replacing the bad wheel sensor as well.
Mike, at this point, I am having a hard time accepting the accuracy of their initial diagnosis and don't know what to do.
My question is can the messed up wheel sensor be the actual culprit to begin with and that the ABS moduel was never bad and didn't need to be replaced at all? Or can they both go bad? Or can a bad wheel sensor as they have told her damage the ABS moduel. Don't mechanic use an advanced OBD2 reader that can pinpoint weather it is ABS moduel or speed senors?
I feel like if the ABS was never faulty they should not be charging me the $1300 for replacing it and only charge me for replacing the bad wheel sensor. What do you think?
Also, if one wheel sensor is bad, should I replace all 4 sensors now.
@@meshkatassian8946
We are honored to help and that’s a bummer that you have had to experience this in recent days and weeks.
To answer your question, yes 100%!
It is 100% possible that a faulty wheel speed sensor can trigger the ABS light.
To answer your question further about if the speed sensor can be the original culprit while the ABS module still good…Yes, it is possible that your original ABS module was A-ok and not faulty however we can’t personally confirm that…but…it is more common for a speed sensor to fail and trigger the ABS light…as opposed to the module failing.
Hope this help. 🧰
Thanks Mike... It is so heart warming to get your input...
As I have said earlier, The shop is telling me that the ABS moduel was faulty that is why it was replaced. In addition they say that the messed up wheel sensor is what has caused the ABS moduel to go bad!!!
Mike, Can a bad wheel sensor as they have told me (damage) the ABS moduel?
Don't mechanic use an advanced OBD2 reader that can pinpoint whether it is ABS moduel or speed senors? Or both?
What can I asked the mechanics to show me to assure me that the original ABS moduel was indeed faulty and needed to be replaced?
I feel now that they have replaced the $1000 ABS moduel they are trying to justify their repair work by saying that the messed up sensor has damaged the moduel!!!
@@meshkatassian8946
Thanks for the reply, we are always happy to help.
Will a speed sensor ultimately cause an ABS module to fail…it’s possible…however we have never heard of that happening…🤔
We don’t know all the ins-and-outs of what the shop diagnosed and because of that…can’t give you a definite answer.
But again, we have never seen a wheel speed sensor being the sole pinpointed culprit of an ABS module failure.
