wondering if anyone knows what i can do to make my ABS light go away
replaced all brakes complete !! new rotors pads , drums and shoes and since that was done my ABS light has been on and doesnt go out !!
even replaced the speed sensor ..

friend hooked up his little computer thingy and there is no codes what so ever !!

how do i make that darn ABS light go out ??
and what can i check , cuzz i dont think my ABS function is working properly , cuzz if i slamm on the brakes it locks up and doesnt pulse like i believe it should ???

thanks in advance
 
You have a failed sensor on one of the wheels or a broken harness on the one of the wheels. An engine scanner will not tell you which one, you need an abs/bcm scanner. You can try an ohm meter.
 
and this would have happened when my friend replaced all the breaks ? cuzz like i mentioned , i pulled into his shop and i had no ABS light on !! after he completed replacing all breaks , drums rotors shoes and pads and we started the van up the ABS light came on and has been on since ..
what could have happened during replacing the breaks that would have made the ABS light come on ?
 
oh 1 caliper was siezed , so we replaced that too .. on the drivers side
and what do you mean when you say a broken harnes ? thx

It would be really easy to bump/break one of those sensor wires . I would give it a good visual check of each one and the connectors.

The wire harness going to the sensor
 
i am wondering if the brakes were bled properly, a sensor went bad or was unplugged, or if a fuse blew for the ABS . . i have had cars where ABS kicked in and made it almost impossible to stop from making pedal rock hard and barely slowing the car . . i unplugged the ABS fuse and killed the issue since was cheaper
