Front Wheel Bearing and ABS

The driver's side front wheel bearing is goig bad on my TA. Will this trigger the ABS inop light?

Thanks,

Loren

No, the bearing going bad should not affect the abs system.

If the wheel bearing is REALLY loose, it can trigger the ABS inop light. The ABS sensor and relector ring are integrated into the wheel bearing assy, so a really loose bearing will create an inconsistant reluctor gap, which can trigger the abs sensor.

Jack up the front of the car, and try to rock the wheel back and forth (grab it at the 12 and 6 o'clock position). There should be no play. If its more than a quarter inch of play, I would suspect it's triggering the ABS inop.
