Re: Anti-lock brake system light comes on

if the abs light comes on, it doesnt mean the brakes dont work. it means the abs or trac ctrl controller isnt working, one of the abs sensors maybe defective or unplugged or damaged or somthin like that...

90% of the time that the abs light comes on the abs sensor at the wheel bearing is bad its about a $525.00 repair at the dealer have it checked out
