Here's the proper approach:
1. Diagnose the Problem: The ABS light is triggered by a fault code stored in the ABS module's memory. You must diagnose the problem before attempting any "reset." This requires:
* OBD-II Scanner (Likely Not Available): While some believe 1995 models use OBD-II, the 1995 Caprice's ABS system is likely too old for a standard OBD-II scanner to communicate with. You might need a specialized scanner compatible with the GM ABS system of that year. Auto parts stores sometimes offer free diagnostic checks.
* Professional Diagnosis: The most reliable way is to take your Caprice to a qualified mechanic or an auto repair shop specializing in older vehicles. They have the tools and expertise to read the ABS fault codes.
2. Repair the Problem: Once the fault code is identified, the underlying mechanical or electrical problem needs to be fixed. This could be anything from a faulty ABS sensor, a wiring issue, a problem with the ABS module itself, or even low brake fluid.
3. Clear the Code (After Repair): After the repair is completed, the mechanic will use the scanner to clear the stored fault code from the ABS module's memory. This step only happens AFTER the problem is resolved.
Attempting to reset the light without addressing the underlying issue is extremely risky and could lead to brake failure. The ABS light is a critical safety indicator.
In short: Don't focus on "resetting" the light. Focus on *diagnosing and fixing* the problem that caused the light to come on in the first place.
