My ABS light turns on randomly...I did a search and it said that I should check my abs sensors, could someone tell me where exactly these are, Ive never dealt with a car with abs before

I have no clue what the problem is, but the ABS sensors are what relay info from the abs system back to the computer. When the ABS light is on, get it to a shop, and they can check the code that the abs is showing and tell you exactly what the problem is. I just changed a right rear wheel sensor $100 just for the part.

 

damn dood thanks, and do you or anyone else know where the sensor is so I can check if its dirty?

 

There's a sensor at each wheel. Its a little magnetic sensor that reads a toothed ring which spins with the axle or brake rotor. I think you can also get error codes from the ABS computer to see what its problem really is.

 

The sensors are easy to find. There are only two lines that run behind your brakes, and one of them is your actual brake line. The other is the ABS sensor. If you were to look at the front wheel, the brake line would run to the caliper (which is closer to the front of the car), and the ABS line would run to the opposite side (closer to the back of the car). They're held in by two 10mm bolts. Undo those, and i believe there are 4 more that hold the line to the suspension. Undo those, and you should have easy access to get the sensor clean.

 

franks everyone
