Problem
The ABS light illuminates during the self-check and then begins to flash. Turning the ignition off and on may temporarily resolve the issue. This problem may occur more frequently when the vehicle is cold or has been sitting for an extended period. When the ABS light is flashing the ABS system is non-operational.
Potential Causes and Solutions
-
Wheel Speed Sensors:
- Inspect the ABS sensors at each wheel for proper alignment.
- Clean any mud, debris, or obstructions from the sensor slots.
- Check the sensor wiring and connectors for secure connections and any signs of damage (e.g., stone damage).
-
Yaw Rate Sensor:
- SOLUTION: Locate the yaw rate sensor beneath the center console, behind the gear sticks.
- Check the sensor’s electrical connector to ensure it is properly seated and free from corrosion or damage. Re-seat the connector and test.
