my abs inop light comes on every now and then. ive checked the sensors behind the wheel and there good. whats the probelm

 

You need to have the ABS module scanned to see what's going on. Double check your third bake light lamps and connections also.

 

third light is fine. i try to have it scanned the other day and the guy said for some reason it wont scan it. the scanner kept saying connect to dlc. whats the deal?

 

What year is your car?

 

94 formula. the guy told me it should scan. he said to take to some one else and that it use a aldl hook up or something like that

 

Mine did that too. It finally just stayed on. I eventually shelled out $1000 to the dealership to have a new ABS computer installed. Hope you find a cheaper solution than that.

 

Are you sure the guy scanning it was aware it is OBD1 and what kind of scanner did he use?

 

im pretty sure it was a obd1 but not sure what brand it was. it was at advanced auto parts. autozone said they only do it free if the engine light is on.

 

Remove the ground stud by the positive terminal on the passenger side under the hood, sand all the connections, take a wire wheel to the stud itsef, and sand down the underlying paint to ensure a good ground. This is what fixed mine...

 

what do u mean give me more detail.

 

There is a ground stud on the right fender well that a bunch of wires attach to. He means to take it apart and clean it real good. I'd post a pic but this site doesn't allow that in the threads.

 

o ok ill give that a try
