    Default No ABS or Trac

    The ABS and Traction Control in my 2000 does not work. The previous owner said he was told a sensor was bad. What should l look at and where are the sensors. Thanks.

    one of your abs sensors is bad. they are part of the wheel bearing/hub. you will need to put a scanner on the car to find out which one is bad

    Or take of your wheels and take a look to see if the sensor is broke, hanging, or not plugged in.

    Never hurts to do a visual inspection.

    most likely a front sensor wire broken in the loop at a front wheel bearing from what I'm told. I had mine break at the front. Easy fix.
