Good afternoon,

There is a fault stored in the system. We need that fault. You can stop at a parts store and see if they can read the ABS system for faults. It sounds like you may have a wheel speed sensor that is out. These videos will help us find the problem.

Please run down these guides and report back. Once I get that code, I can help track down the area of failure. Once the ABS is repaired, all the other systems will work again.

Have you checked for codes? If so, what are they because that is going to tell us where the issue is.

Clearly these lights are commonly a wheel speed sensor issue but we need to start with the codes and then we can test the sensors if needed.

Let's start here and go from there. Thanks

The ABS system self checks when you first start it. When the repair is successful, the light goes out when you get to 8 MPH.

You are welcome.

We are always glad to help.
