Help pulling and ABS code
I have an ABS light on. I know it is one of the wheel sensors as It only lights up once the car moves. Where do I and how do I pull the code for it to find out the wheel in question? Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Help pulling and ABS code
if you put the passenger seat all the way forward, there will be a small cutout flap on the door track side. lift this and there will be a small light which will flash the code number after you have driven for a bit. Just check it after a short drive, and it will flash the number of the code.

Re: Help pulling and ABS code
What you're seeing is not the TCU. It's up under the dash to the left of the driver's left knee attached to the ECU and has no lights.. The POWER light on the dash flashes when there's a transmission issue. The ABS diagnostic light is what you see under the passenger seat, mine unfortunately is burnt out.

Re: Help pulling and ABS code
Ok I got one flash so is this solenoid valve on the ABS unit under the hood then? I am guessing that is where t would be. I am thinking checking the wiring will be the best bet. I just came back and also got 10 and they sound like similar problems. Any suggestions where to start. And could I keep getting different ones each time if there is more than one problem.
