Default ABS Light came on this morning. Time to clean the sensors I guess.

I was backing up from my garage and the ABS light came on together with a blinking red <BRAKE> light. Stoped the car and after restart it was all OK. Then later in the day the same thing. Do you think cleaning the sensors will fix the problem?

Default guys if cleaning does not work

then check for opens.. I had a wire that worked and when I mad turns or bumps it tripped the sensors. But not always.. Sometimes it was perfect no errors.. If you do have a open in the wire it is easy to sut and splice in a new 18-16 gauge wire.. just make sure you make the connections water tight.. Hot glue works great..
