Check engine light doesn't come on..but occasionally the (ABS) light comes on...bought my car used so I don't have a manual. What's that light mean exactly?

 

maybe the anti lock brakes are not working properly and something is wrong with them? dont really know

 

It means the ABS computer is detecting a fault in the system. Just like the ECM will store a code when your CEL comes on, the ABS computer also stores a code. You need to have the code read to find out the fault code. A normal code reader usually won't read ABS fault codes. You may need to take it to a shop that has the right reader.

 

there you go, yellow pony knows his shizz

 

I think I'll just PM my problems to yellowpony from now on. Cut out the middle man

 

NO DON'T!!! How else am I gonna be a post *****?!?!?!?!?!

 

In that case we'll just make this our personal thread. That way I can rape you for knowlege and you get credit for all the posts
