1. Check the brake fluid level. If the brake fluid level is low, it can cause the ABS light to come on.
2. Check the wheel speed sensors. The wheel speed sensors are located at each wheel and they send a signal to the ABS module about how fast each wheel is spinning. If a wheel speed sensor is damaged or not working properly, it can cause the ABS light to come on.
3. Check the ABS module. The ABS module is located under the hood and it controls the ABS system. If the ABS module is damaged or not working properly, it can cause the ABS light to come on.
If you are unable to turn off the ABS light yourself, you may need to take your vehicle to a mechanic to have it diagnosed.
