Question ABS warning light

My abs light and trac off light came on and im wondering is that just the sensor or what would i need to fix that? The lights arent on all the time but they eventually come on. Also My o2 sensor went out a while ago and the service engine light is still on after i reset everything.

For your abs and trac light, you probably have a wheel hub gone bad. Well not the hub itself, but the sensor that is build into the hub.

If you still have an SES light on after replacing the O2 sensor and resetting everything, then you probably still have a code stored. Its either from the O2 sensor and did not clear or there is another issue setting a new code.

I have the SAME problem. Drives me nuts. Im getting a whole new break setup, and im hoping this may solve the problem. I doubt it though

Getting it scanned by something that can read ABS codes (normal scanners can't) will tell you what has failed that is causing the light. If it's a wheel speed sensor, it'll tell you which one.

Hey guys, we do have a "HOW TO" section in the upper right hand corner between the "Local Chapters" and the "Time Slips"....There is lots of good information there, for instance...
