Default ABS Light On after removing caliper for repair .

Hi guys I changed the upper and lower ball joints and Broke the bleeder screw in the right caliper . I went to autozone and got a rebuild from them . I bleed the caliper on the right side only . Now My abs light is on I took it over to autozone and they scanned it and know codes come up . So what do I do to get the light out on her .I did stretch the wire for the caliper on the wheel hub on the right side too . How do I check for a bad wire in the wheel sensor . I have mulitmeter and can check for ohms I bet if theres a problem I would find it right away . well I replace all of the ball joints and that was a bear too plus pitman arm and idler arm as well . My wheel bearing are fine and don't need changing anyway .


well if you guys can help me fix my fu*k up I made I would really need the help . Im going to get her realigned soon so Im want to take her apart first for repair again .

Did you check to make sure its clean? Its pretty common to get some dirt or grease on it that will interfere with its function when doing any sort of work that requires its removal. You may have also damaged a wire when it was stretched but I'd start with cleaning it

If the boot is brooken but the axle works fine you can just replace the boot with the new one and re-greese it! They sell a kit like this for about $20

No o just got a new axle from autozone for 55.00 and am going to replace it along with fixing the ABS sensor maybe I can repair the broken wire in it . But that's every one for your comments . Don't you hate it when you look at something and you know it need to be replaced and pass it by. Well That's just what I did too . Now I have to remove the axle and fix it now . Oh by the way there's metal shaving in the grease too so its wise to replace it anyway .
