ABS Light

Started my car this morning and the ABS light is on. Any ideas as to why and how to fix? Thanks.

Is the abs still functioning? Are your brakes working as normal? Any pulsations when stopped at a light?

There could be several different causes for this:

1. ABS Relays in the under-hood module at the right front
2. ABS circuit in the fuse panel
3. Faulty Wheel Sensor
4. Broken wire to wheel sensor
5. Faulty ABS Computer

Given the circumstance as described, I would try troubleshooting the simple aspects of it first (fuses and relays), rather than going through the replacement of a sensor right away.

Brakes appear to be working normaly. I did not try to slam on the brakes to see if they are working. I guess that would have been a good place to start

Check the ABS error code to see what it is complaining about.

How do I check the ABS code? Can I do it with my Select Monitor?
