Abs Light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just started my car today just like a normal day and noticed my ABS light is on. I have a 98 Maxima SE and the CEL isn't on. What could cause the ABS light to stay on? Could it be a sensor? Anyway to tell what is going on? This sounds expensive to fix....................................
Thanks

Seeing as your in Georgia I doubt this is the same scenario for you, but over the winter I was sliding everywhere in the snow and my ABS light came on for 10-20 minutes then turned itself off. Hopefully next tim you go out to your car it will have turned itself off.
If that isn't the case, then I'm assuming its something to do with sensors, however I'd assumed they'd light up your CEL too.

there is a way to pull codes from the abs. Its outlined in the hilton manual, I dont remember it off the top of my head.
Get under the car and look at the sensor. When my light came on it turned out I cut thru the wire somehow. Resoldered and all was good.

I having the same problem on my 99 but the thing is it only cuts on with I turn my head lights on other wise its always off. Sometimes I would have to turn the car off for a minute and cut it back on and the light goes off.

ok it goes on once the car is running for a little bit. now come to think about it it might go on when my head lights are on. my abs did work today though. sometimes the light is off, but it's usually on
how much is a diagnostic at the dealer unless someone can open up the Hilton book!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is an update! I took my front wheels off today and noticed the ABS lines were rubbing up against metal so there is a "rip" in both lines because I can see metal. I did not tie them up after I installed my coilovers. I electrical taped the ABS lines up and secured them and the ABS light hasn't gone off. Do you think both sensors are bad now?

i found the problem by blinking the ABS light. the front right/passenger sensor has a short or open. so i need to buy a new one...

Do you hear a "humming" sound when you initially insert your key and turn it to "on?" When I do, my ABS stays on...

I went to a junk yard and was going to buy the whole sensor on the hub for 50 bucks. the only problem is the guy broke it when taking the sensor off the wheel hub because of the rust. it's easy to remove besides the rust. i bet i could of gotten it off.
i dont think i hear any humming my ABS light is constant now. i ran a diagnosis on it and it says the front right sensore has a short or open so i bet its that sensor.

I'll check my hayness for the details, but it basically involves using a paper clip to ground a certain pin on the connector below the steering column, a few mins after the car has been turned off but still warm. the abs light will blink like the cel light and the # of blinks will reflect a certain defined code.

1. drive car 20+ mph for at least one minute (a quick drive around your neighborhood is fine)
2. turn ignition off
3. ground "pin 4" (shown in the picture below)
4. turn ignition to the On position while ground pin 4
5. after 3 seconds the ABS light will flash just like the CEL
