What can trigger an ABS cluster light?
After spinning out bending a left lca(and replacing it), and replacing a rear axle complete assy. I still have an abs light. Does this light come on if your brakes aren't completely bled? I still have a little air in the system after bleeding. I know after searching the forum that a bad speed sensor(s) can do this. Is that the electronic sensor(s) at each of the wheels?

I did that, not sure for that long, but it didn't come back until several hours later. I wonder if a saturn redline rear axle and hubs could have something to do with it. Other then that is there a scan tool that can tell which wheel is causing this?

Well, as I was replacing the rear hubs. I noticed smashed wires running to one of the sensors. And your right qwikredline. Same part numbers for the rear hubs. Irregardless of ion redline or a cobalt ss.

Is the light just on? Does the ABS kick in when slowing down?
If the abs kicks in when you come to a slow stop is the wheel speed sensor. The computer is showing the wheels traveling at two different speeds and thinks your sliding or have lost traction.
If the light is just on and no abs kicks in, I would say to clean all the sensors.
