Help!!!! ABS Light ....

Its probably one of the sensors. Do you have a workshop manual as i think there is a way of testing to find out.

Possibly the resistance values of the individual sensors would point to a faulty one? The sensors all unplug from the abs controller which is near the screenwash bottle. I would test them with a multimeter and see if theres any large differences between them. There will be some small differences between them due to wire lengths, but that should be negligible. [plz note - this is a guess but easy to test without replacing anything or spending hours]

All the sensor are working, I have my new scanner arriving tommrrrow so so I can spend a bit more time working on the problem and trying to get the abs light to switch off

Good luck

Maybe PM Rhinoman think he's a bit hot on the electrical side if a Jim

Could be wrong though

you have not fitted LED bulbs or something like that?

Martin, your right on the money!

I had found that page you posted last night, and after some real head scratching and then I started to realise the only thing I had done different to the standard Jimny was fit LED bulbs. I had done this because the rear tail lights are sealed behind a perspex cover and very tricky to access. The idea being LED's have a less likely chance of failing etc! Little did I know it was going to cause weeks of sleepless nights!

A little googling late last night, found several posts about LED lights and ABS's warning lights on Asian cars. It seems that's the ECU carries out a check on the brake light circuit to ensure its working and looks for a slight load from the traditional incandescent bulbs but with LED's its cant pick up any resistance/load and goes into a fault mood switching the ABS light on!!!

Fitted a 50w resistor on the brake light circuit and ABS warning light now switches off!

With out my mates professional code reader, I would never have looked at the LED's and brake light circuit.

Sounds like you have come across this problem before?
