Northern1 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I have winter tires on original rims (97 GT) swapped onto my car recently. The shop said the ABS light came on after a test drive (I was having an inspection done same time so they drove the car) and to see if it comes on again in the future. So I drove it around town and it was fine. Few days later it came on and then went away after restarting the car. Seem intermittent at this point. Only changes recently was the wheel swap, many rainy days and driving over some potholes on my way to the beach. Also worth noting I was told I gotta replace a front-left axle shaft, and all four struts as well I got a slight leak in the steering rack. I guess I should get an OBD-II scanner and check for codes but I am wondering if there is a common issue that might throw up an intermittent ABS light I can quickly check.

doublechaz Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I would say their work disturbed some gunk that is on the ABS wheel speed sensor or the sensor rings. Can you get under there with a compressed air hose and some really good eye protection? If so, try to blow them clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern1 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 I think it might be something like that. I drove it around town just now and no ABS light so my thinking is as you said some gunk around the sensor or perhaps a lose connection. I have the suspension work coming up soon so I'll have the shop check both. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
