Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock.

2. Inspect and Replace ABS Wheel Speed Sensors

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the ABS wheel speed sensors at each wheel hub.
  2. Remove the wheel for access (use a jack and jack stands).
  3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.
  4. Remove the sensor using a socket set (typically 10mm).
  5. Install the new sensor in the reverse order and torque to manufacturer specifications (usually around 7-10 ft-lb).
  6. Repeat for other wheel sensors as necessary.

3. Check and Replace ABS Fuses

• Sub-steps:
  1. Locate the fuse box (typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment).
  2. Identify the ABS fuse using the fuse diagram.
  3. Remove the fuse and inspect it; replace if blown.
  4. Reinstall the new fuse and ensure it is seated securely.

4. Repair or Replace Wiring and Connectors

• Sub-steps:
  1. Visually inspect all wiring connected to the ABS system for signs of wear or fraying.
  2. Clean any corrosion on connectors using electrical cleaner.
  3. Replace any damaged wiring or connectors as needed.

5. Reconnect Battery and Test

• Reconnect the battery terminals and ensure they are tight.
• Start the vehicle and monitor the ABS light to see if it remains illuminated.
