Hello,

I had my tires rotated about a month and a half ago and then just two weeks ago I had them balanced because the service station never balanced them when they were rotated. Now, ever since I have had them balanced, my ABS indicator light has been on, at first intermittently, and now much longer. It ususally comes on in the driveway when I start the car, stays on when I back out, then turns off, only to come back on again on the expressway...then some days its off....but lately its been staying on. Does anyone have a clue as to what is wrong. I don't have a lot of money, so I hope this isn't a serious problem. I have no idea what to do. Please help!

I would start by carefully inspecting the ABS tone rings on the front axles. They are known to get rust built up behind them and the ring will split.

Well, its been a long time since I posted here, I haven''t been on the net this long. The ABS light is still intermittent. I''ve had two differnt repair shops look at it three times...my brakes are fine, nothing out of place...they said the ABS gear stuff looks fine. My ABS wire was hanging down on the driver side rear wheel, but they put it back up and there was not change. I am thinking it might be either the ABS sensor or the vehicle speed sensor. Am I close? Any ideas?????

i feel, this is not related with vehicle speed sensor. if your brakes are fine, ask for the dealer to fix / reset your ABS system.
