Default 2001 abs light question?????????????

actually 2 questions, does the abs light being on have anything to do with the traction control light coming one, second question, how hard is it to replace the abs sensor. ok third question, is there a sensor on each wheel.
thanks in advance.

one on each wheel, and the TCS is tied into the abs system, if you have no abs the TCS will not work, i dont see how it can be to hard to replace one, i never had to though

I agree, while I've never changed one, I can't imagine it being all that hard, I've changed out a lot of stuff in the brakes/suspension and a sensor can't be all that hard.

SOOOOO. how do you determine which one is bad? I guess that is the million dollar question.
And thanks again.

That is the million dollar question. Do you have a CEL? If so pull the CEL and see if it tells you which one is bad.

Check em to see if they are all crudded up first, they are however easy to swap.

This. If you live or driver someplace with heavy rain and mud the "ring" get plugged up and throw a CEL. You can clean them off and might fix your problem with no money spent.
