hey, i alrdy tried a search but couldnt really find what i was looking for. anyway last night i got a "ding" noise and my ABS light came on. i dont feel any difference in braking or anything, anyone have any idea what it could be?

 

It could be alot of things, you need to get the codes pulled to see if it is spitting one out (which it should be).

 

does a regular scanner pick this up or does it have to be a special one?

 

It MIGHT I dont know for shure, but I think the regular scanner only gets Powertrain codes.

 

Alot of times it depends on the problem. If it is a wheel sensor a normal scan should pick it up. I think you need a tech 2 to access the ABS module.

 

you can go to autoparts and get an abs scanner

 

You wouldn't be able to tell a difference in braking unless you were in snow or slammed on your brakes.

 

check your wires going to the wheel speed sensor...mine got corroded and broke just out of no where...had to get a new hub assembly to replace it

 

Mine came on yesterday too, thinking its probably a wire, though I'm going to try to get to autozone or somewhere to have them read the code for me.

 

its your speed sensor in your wheel..mine did the same thing and i took it in and had to have the "speed sensor" in the back replaced and it never came back

 

When I changed my tires I noted on my car that one of the lines had a few slices in it from the mounting clip, I'm assuming that's where my problem lies.

 

LMAO.....GET IT SCANNED thats the first step to a proper diagnostic!

if u start swapping parts without even knowing the problem....u better have deep pockets.

if u dont have a scanner handy, at least visually inspect the system.

 

car was under warranty and i also scanned it and inspected it...good try tho

 

My ABS light has been coming on every time the road gets wet. I figure it's a sensor and the dealer wants $90 to scan it and if it's under the drivetrain warranty it's all covered, if it isn't then I have to pay.

Guy at Autozone said he couldn't scan chassis codes, if that helps.

 

Common problem I guess, mine comes on and off routinely. Im gonna thoroughly check it out when I swap my springs

 

My popped on after racing from a dig with bald tires and spinning till 50, I drove home and turned the car off and on again and it was gone, But I assume you've already done that haha
