i found a plug under my hood that was unplugged. i plugged it in and the abs light on my dash came on. is this suppose to stay on all the time? i would really like to have abs for the winter

thank you

 

If the ABS light is on, it means there is a fault in the system. This could be numerous things from a faulty wheel speed sensor to a fauty ECBM (electronic brake control module).

The previous owner probably disconnected it because they didn't want to see the light.

 

and the light also tells you the ABS system has been deactivated due to the fualt Swart mentioned.

get teh code read and post up.

 

how do i read the trouble codes? on my other car, i have to turn the key 3 times and then the check engine light blinks. i tried that on the jimmy, but it didnt work. what do i have to do?

 

go to an autozone and get them to read the codes for you its free, or autovalue if your in canada

 

thanks

 

could you post a pic of the terminal that you unplug to get the light to go away

I would appreciate it

 

There is like a four, or five, wire plug on the top of the Control Unit. It supplies power, and such. Unplug it, and the lite will go out. (But, your ABS most certainly will not work.)
