    Does your car or truck have an ABS light on, even though the brakes feel fine? In this video, Sue explains how more than brakes can trigger an ABS light, shows you why, and what you can do to get rid of the light on your car or truck! Check out the video to see how axles and wheel bearings can also play a role in making the ABS light come on!

    My ABS light went on and I thought it was the ABS system. It turns out to be the wheel bearing that was worn out. When ABS light turns on first check the wheel bearings, it will save you a lot of money.

    I had an ABS light come pop up on my 86 BMW 325 es. I was fortunate enough to run into a BMW mechanic who was doing side work ln the street and he pointed me to the left front wheel bearing area. I also remember having no breaking issues and he remarked that on my particular model it was a common problem. I unscrewed the old one put in a new one and the ABS light went off. I am no mechanic but always thought it to be a good idea to get a service manual for every car I had. Now with UA-cam you really don’t need to buy one. Thank you for the video.

    Great job ! The speed sensor returns a voltage which is proportional to the wheel speed and the voltages from all the wheels have to be in the same range. It uses a magnetic circuit where there is a magnet inside a coil and when the reluctance wheel rotates it deforms the magnetic field with each tooth of the gear (not a gear but may look like one) This causes a back and forth current in the coil which is read as an AC voltage that is proportional to wheel speed. Pretty cool !!

    I have and 05 Saturn Relay/Chevy Uplander a few years ago a mechanic replaced my CV joints and wheel bearing and hub, and when I drove home this ABS light was on, wasn't on before the new wheel bearings. Anyhow I watched the Scotty Kilmore channel about it he says if the ABS light is on means your ABS system won't operate but your vehicle will still stop.
    It's been on for over two years, last week I had my front brakes and rotors serviced by a mechanic he replaced all of the brakes and just mentioned that my ABS wasn't operating but didn't suggest me to bother repair it.
    To date vehicle is riding ok the light is on but seems to stop. If it's just and expensive sensor then maybe I will check the wrecker yard to see if I can get a few there.

    I just bought this 2004 Suburban and I noticed the brake/ABS plug underneath the front passenger seat was unplugged. Soon as I plugged it up the 2 front brakes passenger /driver started dragging. I wonder if the previous owner unplugged the plug for that reason. To release the brakes I opened up the bleeder screw. And when I changed the brakes both passenger/driver side brakes was to the metal. Can having the ABS plugged up cause the brakes to drag? Leaving it unplugged will it help stop the dragging?

    I just had new tires put on my truck and abs/stablitrack light was on immediately after turning on truck. I told guy that put tires on and he says oh something must be in hub causing it. I finally got around to searching and found the crimped wire he hit while putting wheel on. Newer truck and the wire runs over upper ball joint so I can see how it could happen. They are at least paying for new sensor but not my time to install

    Excellent! Information and explanations. Only one helpful tip was not discussed could lead to another discovery and that's tire wear. During the abs check as she described, once you notice movement on that tire indicating a losing bearing, more often than not, a "tell tell" sign will be uneven tire wear. Look for it.

If my ABS light doesn't go away after I reset my truck, I will definitely look into the wheel bearings because they look pretty beaten up. Thank you for this incredibly informative video 😊.

    It's not the abs, on these old chevy/gm vehicles it's mostly the solder joints on the abs bcm board. They Crack over time and it will trigger your abs & service brakes light. This is assuming you already checked your hub sensor (abs wire) 🛞 and your brakes still work fine.

    I've just replaced both rear wheel bearing hubs on a a-class, w169. During the test drive the abs light came on and the car went into limp mode.
    I disconnected the speed sensors. Wiped them clean and put them back.
    Same thing happened on the next drive.
    I don't get it. Found code 4A42 with the obd2 scanner.
    So.... speed sensor is faulty? I don't have patience to figure out which one so will replace both.
    They were working fine before I replaced the hubs... and this makes me wonder if it's not the sensor but something else?
