ABS light

I cleaned all the sensors and the light stays on. The brakes have been working fine.

I chased a ABS light for about 4 years on my 98 Outback.  It ended up being the inertia switch. 

 

Don't ask where it is since I had a mechanic finally fix it. 

Post your year/model.

 

There's a post on here to DIAGNOSE ABS issues, which you'll want to do to narrow it down.

read the codes and you'll know what is causing it. 

 

google it - there's pictures and descroiptions, very easy. 

Very easy you say!  I been looking for months on how to read abs codes on my 1995 subaru legacy wagon.

Mine does not have the 2 pin connector in the left fire wall,  it doesn't have the 4 pin with the terminal L & K,

the 5 pin with the two terminals or the LED on the abs module.  Now what?  I thought about going directly to

the abs module & grounding the test terminal on the module.  Schematic shows diagnosis connector B82,

Check connector B79 and 2 diagnostic terminals but I have looked for hours trying to find them

the diagnostic terminal you are needing is by the steering column. BLACK 6pin  If you google search ABS CODES there are several articles that describe what to do.

on many cars - the ABS is the most sensitive system to low voltage - make sure battery and charging systems are all good - including cables and ground connections.

Very easy you say!  

1995 is an odd year in some ways - so i'm not surprised if the connectors are a little convoluted. 

search for some 1995 specific information if you can find it - i'd even get a 1995 FSM - they're generally easy to find for free online digital versions you can download.  i've got like 20 of them and have never paid for one.

 

find the needed connector in the ABS section and start there. 

so far - every ABS issue i've seen has been an ABS sensor - if you can find the testing parameters for them - resistance? - then maybe you can at least rule those simple things out rather quicky at each corner.  i'd still recommend starting with getting the code - that's going to tell you what the problem is rather than just guessing and troubleshooting in the middle so to speak.
