ABS Inop only when moving..

If i start the car and dont move it the abs inop light stays out, but if i back up or pull forward the abs inop light comes on. Does this mean i have a bad wheel sensor?

That was happening to me a few weeks ago......it did that for two days, then went away. Have yet to see it pop up again.

Thats weird stuff. Im gonna check the terminal posts, but i think because it only happens when the wheels move that one of my sensors are bad.

Re: ABS Inop only when moving..

Could be dirt on the sensor, corrosion on the harness connector, loose harness connector, metal particle buildup on the sensor in the rear axle housing. Worth checking them all out. Or find a shop with a Tech-2 and have the EBCM scanned for codes. That will tell you exactly what and where the problem is.
