Why does ABS light stay on after brake job?
Wheel bearing going – seems unlikely as it spun real easy, no noises, and light wasn’t on before brake job, came on immediately after brake job. 5. Wiring to ABS unit…where is ABS unit? I don’t think I went anywhere near that doing the rear brakes. Any other ideas come to mind? Why NO codes though?
Why do I need to change my brake pads?
I decided to replace the rotors, figuring turning them would be useless considering the warpage (vibration) was only felt when the brakes were hot. Figured turning the rotors while cold would not affect or eliminate the warpage. So anyhow, new Raybestos PG Plus rotors and Raybestos Quiet Stop ceramic pads did the trick…no more vibration!

How does ABS and traction control system work?
Your car is equipped with wheel speed sensors at each of the four wheels which monitor wheel speed while relaying this information constantly to the ABS and traction control system which are controlled by the car’s ECU.
Why does the ABS light go off when you replace the brake?
When the ECU senses an abnormal speed given specific conditions, it engages the ABS or traction control as needed to control the vehicle properly and safely. In your case these sensors may have been bumped or need to be reset due to the movement when the brakes were replaced.
