This light came on. It flashes usually when I hit a bump or loose traction. My car did not want to get into reverse this morning took a minute finally . Now the light came on and stays on and my car started rolling backwards at a stop light on my way to work. I’ve just spent well over 2k on it doing repairs feeling a bit discouraged any help is much appreciated!
You can try to reset the ABS module by disconnecting the battery for 30 min. or more. To pinpoint the concern, a scan tool should be hooked up that will read ABS codes. Could be as simple as a wheel speed sensor or a cracked reluctor ring. Getting a code will tell you which wheel to look at.

Check out your left front wheel speed sensor. The tone ring may have debris embedded in the teeth or the sensor air gap may have to be reset. The sensor itself, may also be defective. Now you have a diagnostic path to follow and this should correct your concern and cause the ABS light to go off.
Check out U-Tube and see if there is a tutorial video. Again, check the tone wheel and make sure there are no broken teeth or debris impacted into the teeth. This is also called a toothed reluctor and is usually found on the outer CV joint housing in the front. Good luck.
Hey all,
Has anyone done a brake upgrade with kit that included bigger rotors?
Any advantage in replacing the rear drums with a rotor kit?
Any feedback on good or dodgy kits?
Does it screw up ABS, instruments, or void warranty?
Many thanks!

Had there not been a pandemic my car would be in PA with a new owner. As it is it is back in the motor pool here. Sun is shining right now but there a thunderstorms forecast for my ride time to work. Been 12 years now and 80000 miles the car still makes me smile.
So I love the panoramic roof (that is definitely crazed lol) on my '09 passion I bought a yr ago, but I was curious if anyone has ever removed the roof from it's adhesive & then found a way to mount it to a locking system that would allow for an easy removable roof (Kind of like Jeeps removable...

I have not known Terry very long but we discussed his tribulations getting his smashed fender repaired.
I bought parts from him and we periodically phoned; since he was recovering from a...
