There are instances when you suddenly see the ABS light lit on your car's dashboard, and may have being wondering what exactly is/was the problem. Well, most of the reasons for the ABS light showing on the dashboard, ranges from a faulty wheel speed sensor, an open or short circuit in the ABS wire harnesses, or a faulty ABS control module/actuator. In the rare cases we've seen, a dirty wheel speed sensor tip, would prevent the sensor from receiving signals from the reluctor wheel to the ABS/ECU module, for subsequent operation.

This short video is part of a series of three part videos that demonstrates briefly how you could use a code reader, whether handheld or software based like what I used in this video, to interpret various ABS related PIDs, than spending tremendous time, troubleshooting the problem without any headway.
