Default ABS light randomly on.

Ok I had dead battery and stupid me, when I go to jump the battery, the cables on my battery are on BACKWARDS.. It started to smoke a little but I disconnected it. I went ahead and reconnected it correctly and jumped it. It started fine.

Problem is my ABS light will come on randomly.

If I start it in the morning, drive it to work, it doesnt' come on. If I start it and have to get gas, I shut it off, put gas in and re-start it. 9 times out of 10 it will come on.

Any ideas?

Connecting a batt. up backwards, [rev. polarity] can cause a lot of problems, normally the main fuse would blow before damage is done to sensitive electronics, [ECU/ECM, ABS module, A/T control module and so on], pull the ABS code to see what the prblem may be.

You can also try and "reset" the ABS light by disconnecting the batt. and reconnecting after 5min. or so.94

Disconntecting the battery means both terminals?

Page 94 huh? Going to try it out tomorrow.

Could this also cause my ABS to not work?

Just disconnect the negative. You can also pull the ABS fuse in the underhood fuse box.

First, pull the ABS codes like a CEL. Just read the ABS light. It will tell you why the light illuminated.

What Dogginator said and just ignore the 94, it's kind of like a 10/4. 94

Will be doing this today. Hopefully It will go away if not have a better idea on what damage that did.
