Abs light stays on

Hi guys,

I have an ABS light that came one , and it stays on,

Even if i restart the car, the brakes seems fine accepts, i think it now just normal , like without abs,

Any idea or should i just take it to a dealer to sort out?

Its a vvt jimny manual abs model 2009 , this happened after i installed some suspention parts, like shocks and coilspacers,

Please advise.

Thanx

You have probably broken a wire to an abs sensor, pulled a connector apart (unlikely) or have disturbed an abs sensor so that it can no longer see the toothed cog on the halfshaft/brakedisc.

Fixing what is wrong usually makes the light go out.

If you had the brake lines apart, there may be air in the abs unit and it can't read the correct pressure, that will take some fixing though without a doodah to plug in the obd port and instruct the abs to go into bleed mode. Hopefully it isn't that as you reckon the brakes are fine.

Thanx

Any problems you can think of that is just to do with the rear brakes and rear axles, ?

I have an idea that it might the the area of the problem.

You mentioned brake discs, so thats on the front, so any problems that you might know of thats relevent to the rear ?

Thank you

You might have whacked an abs sensor on the inside of the backplate and bent/broken it
You might have disconnected the plug at the front of the training arm.
You might have broken the wire somewhere between the sensor and the plug, possibly where it runs along the trailing arm, or right at the sensor.

If you can't see anything wrong, either go to the dealer (and be prepared to pick up the soap ) or find a local garage who can read the code .

Likely there is a way to make it flash the error code yourself, but I don't know it.

Take the bulb out the dash haha
That'll work

You don't need abs any way
Complete waste of time, down a narrow country lane tight against a bank
In mud and leafs
It goes spazzzzz
Driving in snow, and goes spazzzz
On ice still spazing out
The only time it's good is either on a dry road, or wet road
But it's a 4x4, so it needs to have it's all round uses

If you wanted a car the brakes well on norm road conditions (for a start don't have a Jimny)
Have a normal car not a Jim lol

I checked the plug, its fine, i checked the cable seems fine, but at the back , where the cable goes on top of the radius arm over the axle to the hub..... That part had like no slack in the wire, the wire was very stiff connected, so it seems that metal plate that connect the wire to the radius arm bent, so i think i would need to replace the sensor then at the rear hub,

I bent the metal plate on the radius arm back to its position so that there is more slack for the line over the axle to the hub.

Will see if i can get it to some garage to check the error and see if its the sensor,

Thank you:)
