We scan for fault codes to identify the affected wheel, inspect the sensor, reluctor ring and wiring, replace the faulty sensor, clear the codes and confirm the light stays off on a road test.
An ABS warning light on the dash usually means one wheel speed sensor has stopped reporting. The brakes still work normally, but the anti-lock system is disabled, so in an emergency stop the wheels can lock.
An ABS light is easy to live with day to day, which is exactly why it gets ignored. Without ABS you lose steering control during hard braking, and on many cars the traction and stability control switch off at the same time. It is also a roadworthy failure.
We scan the system to identify which sensor is reporting the fault rather than replacing sensors in turn, and check the reluctor ring and wiring as well, because a damaged ring or a chafed cable gives the same fault code as a dead sensor.
The brakes still work in everyday driving, which is why it gets ignored, but in an emergency stop the wheels can lock and steering control is lost.
