I have been so busy today, I changed the distributer cap and router, oil change, cv joints, upper and lower ball joints. But now that i am doing i have an abs light on in the dash of my car. What would cause that? Oh and both sets of ball joints were orginal i think they still had rivits in them and i am at 200,000 miles on a 2000 model. Pretty crazy

Thank for the help in advance you always pull though for me.

check the wheel speed sensors, make sure they are clean and also check the wires you might have pinched one

 

Oh didn't even think of that oops, will take a look at that tomorrow. Some times we need the obvious pointed out to us. I was messing around with that all day today probably it.

Well i checked the wires and what not all seem to be good any other ideas? can you do a scan or anything for it. thanks for the idea

You can test each WSS with a multimeter. Check out the thread below:
Brakes - Low Speed (below 5 MPH) ABS Activation
It will detail what the sensors should output.

If your ABS light is on, that means that the EBCM (electronic brake control module) has stored a code. A Tech2 or equivalent full feature scan tool will be required to access the ECBM and pull the codes. A generic OBD2 scan tool will not be able to do this. An enhanced OBD2 scan tool may be able to do this, but you would have to read the fine print first.
