Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and materials: OBD-II scanner, socket set, multimeter, brake fluid, cleaning supplies, and safety equipment (gloves and goggles).
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety during repairs.

2. Check ABS Fuse

  • Locate the fuse box (refer to the owner's manual for location).
  • Remove the cover and identify the ABS fuse.
  • Inspect the fuse; if blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage.

3. Inspect Wheel Speed Sensors

  • Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Remove the wheels to access the wheel speed sensors.
  • Inspect each sensor for dirt or damage; clean with a soft cloth if necessary.
  • Check the electrical connectors for corrosion or loose connections.
  • If damaged, replace the wheel speed sensor.

4. Brake Fluid Inspection

  • Locate the brake fluid reservoir under the hood.
  • Check the fluid level; if low, top off with the recommended brake fluid (DOT 3 or DOT 4 as specified).
  • If the brake fluid appears contaminated, consider a brake fluid flush.

5. Rescan for Codes and Clear

  • Reconnect the battery and start the vehicle.
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
  • Verify that the ABS light has turned off after clearing codes.
