Sebring to A Neighborhood Mechanic Due to a ABS light n I took my 2000 Chrysler Sebring to A Neighborhood Mechanic Due to a ABS light n brake light on my dashboard n he told me it was the REAR ABS...

I'm sorry to say you need trained help or a good DIY neighbour to get to the bottom of this.; The ABS sensors on the rear brakes will not lead to air in the brakes or grinding of the brakes. It sounds like you have an ABS pump fault in the main unit. This can cause the brakes to hang up after releasing the pedal. The rear wheel ABS sensors may only need their mounting positions cleaned up and their location to the brake reset, this can be as little as 1-2mm. I'm sorry for your financial situation but you are going to need help and my advice is don't drive the car until you have it fixed. Your life or someone else's is in your hands.

2008 mazda tribute abs and all wheel problem when you start the vehicle all lights are out after computer check but drive 1 km abs lights and all wheel lights comes back on

That's telling us that the abs is passing the self check when you turn on the key. When th e light comes on after you start moving it usually means that a sensor is not sending a single or a signal is messed up. A scan tool will tell you wich wheel to focus on. It is fairly common for the exciter rings on the front drive axles to break and cause this code. It wouldn't hurt to inspect these for crackps or misalignment. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

Seems electric to me but i have not idea.. My dash lights all work, but the ABS and Check Trac lights are staying lit.. I press the Track button in the glove box not working. Could this be cause of my...

Any time the ABS light is on the traction control light will be on and the system will be disabled.

The ABS light is on because the ABS computer has detected a fault either in its self check if the light comes on at start up and stays on or when the vehicle is moving, the light will come on at start up then turn off and then come back on after the vehicle is moving.

The best advice I can give is have the ABS computer scanned for codes. This will give a good direction to head into to solve the problem. A high end muti-function scan tool or a ABS specific code reader will be needed to do this.

Once you know the code(s) post them and I'll be happy to help you further.

Some common problems I see on the minivans are rear speed sensors and broken exciter rings. The exciter rings will cause the light to come on after you start moving and can also have some other symptoms like overactive ABS and not turn on the light as well.

A bad speed sensor can cause the light to come on and stay on. There is a way to check them but you will need a good DVOM and know how to use it.

I just replaced brake rotors pads drums and shoes, and now I have an abs warning light on. I would like to know why, and how to get rid of it because the brakes seem to working fine.

Without knowing what year the truck is, what model, and we arent there to see what you did, ect????? You may have replaced the rotors with the incorrect ones. did they have the tone wheel for the ABS sensor? That would be the first thing to check. Whan you start the truck does the ABS light come on right away, or does it go off, then on again after you start moving.

Should the abs and parking brake light come on on start up and stay for about 2 seconds then go away. They do occasionally come back during driving, but go away after the vehicle is turned off.

When you first turn the key on the vehicle will perform and bulb check.for 2 seconds then the lights should go off.But they should never come on while driving.If they do it is because there is a fault in the ABS system.You need to get the codes to find out what could be causing the problem.Just post back when you get the codes and I`ll be glad to help you out.Good luck.
