my abs light is on still, its been about 2 weeks now i was hoping it would go away by itself
 , but it wont it just wont go off  i havent really invetagated the problem yet, im assuming im going to have to remove the wheels and check the sensors and connections im really tring to save for wheels and a lowering kit so thats why i havent fixed it yet i was just going to wait and fix it when the new coilovers and wheels went on.

it should be scannable, if not im pretty sure theres a procedure to make the light blink to retreive the blink code.

low fluid will illuminate the BRAKE light, the ABS light (the amber colored one) will illuminate during startup, system checks, and if theres a problem. the blue ABS ACTIVE should only illuminate during the startup check and when the system activates.
the amber light being on means theres a fault with your ABS system and the system has disabled itself. likely causes are wiring continuity issues (broken or shorted wires), bad wheel speed sensor, missing teeth on the wheel speed sensor ring, or a loose connection. -------------------- |
