Abs light is staying on.! I got it checked by a car audio place and they said that all the abs speed sensors are out! "weird" he said. He said that it could be the abs computer so he told me he was going to let me know but 1 week later havent heard from him (useless!) so i dont know what it could be
Anybody could help! apprieciat it

A Friend had an ABS light on and the garage made him overhaul his break system for $1000. The crappy thing is that it will stop you at WOF even if it is just a faulty sensor.

Sorry, had to ask. The last Altezza I had in the workshop with ABS light was due to shredded rubber cutting through the sensor wire.

OPcan I ask a question. Would youget a local dispensary clerkto perform open heart surgery! In essence thats whatyou are doing to your caqr. Take it to a PROPPER auto electrician.

Why take it to a car audio shop! Go see your local auto sparky and see what they say.

What a funny f.er you are! If your car has ABS, a wof requirement is that the light must come on and go off (with ignition switch ON, but engine not running, in case some other smart arse wires the ABS light to the oil pressure light).

lol sounds like they've got you buy the short and curleys! ABS is a luxury anyway!

I suspect they have yet to realise whow cheap and how easy to wire up a small IC timer is!

Yes, but, a wof check is only a visual inspection. Technically, you can't remove interior trim panels to check for potential damage, timers, or switches. However, if a car fails a wof check due to ABS light, you could ask the owner for a receipt for repairs. But, in my case, as long as the light goes on and off, no worries.

How mechanically competent are you! If the answer is not very, take it to an auto electrician as said multiple times above.

I managed to half snap an abs wheel sensor without noticing putting the axles back into my falcon. Wasn't hard to isolate the problem, all I had to do was short a pin on the cars diagnostic connector, then look up the error code that got flashed on the dash. Replaced the sensor and was away laughing, imagine it'd be a similar procedure on an Altezza

If the indicated fault is ALL the sensors disconnected, you need to investigate why.
The logged fault is only a starting point.

Jan 29, 11:28am
and what fault/faults were logged! take it to someone who knows what they are doing

You'd have to assume open circuit to all hall sensors.
