ABS Failure + Driving Stability Warning = WTH!?

IbanezGod · 04-18-2011, 04:42 PM

So I'm driving along normally today and i'm heading onto an on-ramp to merge on the highway. I gun the car a bit and hit some gravel so the rear tires must have spun for a second.

All of a sudden warning lights POP on and Ding Ding Ding bells ring. Next thing I know the dash says I have an ABS failure!

I searched the forum and only found one thread but didn't seem to help.

I'm due to hit up the dealer this week for other reasons but looking to see if anyone knows what the hell is wrong. Right now i'm driving my other car and starting and stopping the car hasn't changed anything. Still reads ABS Error and to "drive moderately"

Here are pics of the errors, these lights won't go away.

Had the same problem and it was a "wheel speed sensor". It would happen over and over again if I drove on the freeway for longer than 10 minutes. Had the speed sensor replaced at the dealer and hasn't come on since (that was about a month ago).

Thanks! I'll have to mention it to the dealer. I was a bit worried about braking.

I am married and my wife "hates" him, but seems to laugh everytime she hears him. Good luck with the ABS. Please post what it turns out to be.
