About a week or so ago the ABS light was on, noticed that it didn't have a fuse under the hood so I put one in. Then today we had to take the wheels off to install new hubs and bearing and camshaft position sensor, now the ABS light on the dash is on again. I checked the fuse to make sure it wasn't blown and the fuse is fine. There is another bigger 40 amp fuse that I can't see if it's blown or not cause I cant pull it out (it's stuck), and the ABS relay which I don't know how to tell if the relay is bad or not.

I also read that the ABS light being on could also mean the wheel speed sensors. So I was wondering if anyone has any idea on what it could be?
 
could be one of the abs sensors in the wheels. or wheel speed sensors as you called them.

This guy on Yahoo Answers said "If it's the ABS Speed Sensor, then you will have to change the hub cause it's molded in to the hub". Is that true? Cause we just changed the hubs and bearings earlier today.

Also, read that someone had the same light on. Topped off the brake fluid container and the light went out. But I went and checked the fluid level and the fluid is full.

you can check across the fuse with a test light to see if its blown. did you plug the connectors in on the new hubs? sounds dumb i know but could be something simple as that. i would have it scanned for codes to see what you need to be looking at

My gf's moms bf replaced them so I'd have to ask him.
 
Will a regular OBD2 scanner pull the code for the ABS light? Cause I went to O'reilly auto parts and used their scanner and the code didn't come up.

ABS fuse and ABS relay are located in the fuse box under the hood.
