The ABS light comes on now and stays on after recent suspension work. It doesn't seem to come on until the car starts moving. Any ideas on what to look for?

TIA,

Bailey


Wheel sensor or sensor ring on a wheel. To check the sensor, D/C them and measure resistance. They should all be very close to the other's readings (>1K Ohms on the ones I have checked). Outlier - bad sensor - replace it. Rings - pull the wheel and observe the rings as you spin the wheel. Clean all the rust off with a wire brush.
