Abs light is lit. How can I resolve it? And if I want to repair it by myself, what car diagnostic tools should I buy and use. If it doesn‘t repaired, what will happen?
Most likely the front rotors have heat spots on them, or are warped.just looking at a rotor and saying they are fine doesn't mean they are. Rear tires wearing unevenly, now THAT is an alignment problem. Have the rear lateral link arms looked at closely, they keep the rear tires tracking straight. And the struts too!!
I had 2 cars did same thing I replaced front rotors on both the shaking went away
If you had someone change the brake rotors for you, then obviously they swapped you with some worn/used brake rotors. Go to your local auto parts store and buy new brake rotors yourself at $20 a piece ($40 for 2). If you can change this yourself, that would be ideal. Just jack up your car onto jackstands, remove the wheel, remove the caliper, the caliper mount, and the old brake rotor. Otherwise, bring it to a trusted shop and watch them put in your brake rotors. Mark it with a fat red marker on the surface if you have to. Also, have them use new screws to tighten the new brake rotors onto the hub. If this resolves your problem, look into getting a refund for the brake rotors you purchased.and consider never going there again for repairs - learn how to fix it yourself. Good luck!
When the abs light is on, the abs system should shut down and standard braking should presume. You still need to have the system checked though.
ABS issues are usually a bad sensor and the light indicates the abs is disabled. This means you have plenty of brakes like any other car but in snow and ice you have no assist from the abs computer. Its best to have a shop run a diagnostic on thier computer fix the problem and reset the system. If you choose not to fix anything you will have brakes just like any normal car. If your state does emissions testing the car will fail with a light on the dash.
