is their any that you can buy for a decent. im thinking most machanics wont wont have this tool.abs light is on and i want to fix it in a couple of weeks. thanks in advance
i dont think OBD 1 covers the ABS light
but the local advance autoparts around here carry an OBD1 Scanner... just make sure you have the correct adaptor for our cars....
The ABS and ECM computers are seperate. But the ABS codes are still readable though the ALDL, and I don't think a regular code scanner will pull them up (I've never tried it before, so I may be wrong).
GM dealer can scan it, not sure about scan tools. But if your ABS light is on the most likely cause is one of the wheel sensors has become unplugged / wire broken.
Does the light come on immediately when you start the car, or not until you start moving? If it comes on once your start moving its one of the wheel sensors for sure.
yea it comes on once the car starts moving. where are they located so i can see which 1 it is.
also where can i get it from cant find it on the autozone.how much does it cost
The rear wheel sensors are built into the rear wheel bearings.. the front ones are attached to the knuckle in front of the brakes, look behind your front wheel at the axel you'll see a ring on it that looks like a gear.. the sensor is close to this ring.
thanks. i pulled the plug out on the both of them and 1 of the plugs was messed so im going to buy another plug.
