Remove the sensors from the old hub clean them off and install, it may be the problem is a low quality aftermarket sensor.

You may need to get it to a auto mechanic who can plug in a diagnostic computer to reset the warning lights.

SOURCE: ABS Problems

Gary,

Just went through this problem with my Dakota as well. This is a very very very common problem with the Dodges. First things first. Replace the Vehicle Speed Sensor on the rear differential. Cost around 40 dollars at your local auto parts store or even from the stealership. Its easy to change as well one nut and off comes the bracket then the stud comes off and then you can take out the sensor. They big key is here to be VERY careful pulling out the sensor or you will break it off in the housing. You will need to slowly turn and pry it out with a small screwdriver (as there is an Oring holding it in). Reverse the process to install the new one. After you get the sensor in, reset everything by pulling the negative off the battery and leaving it off for 30 min (some require less time but 30 min is safe) to ensure all is reset. Hope this helps you.

Sincerely,

Jeremy

SOURCE: P0573 code on a 2005 Dodge ram hemi, replace speed

P0573 is for your brake switch stuck. It means you either have a bad brake switch, or a bad wire.

SOURCE: Brake light & ABS light on, speedo problem

I recently had the same problem on my 99 dakota R/T. My symptoms included the abs and brake light staying lit, speedo failing to work at all speeds and the truck would occassionally stall when coming to a stop. I ended up replacing the rear abs speed sensor (on top of the rear diff) and all is well now. The truck runs exactly as it should. You are looking at a $30-$35 dollar part.

Try resetting the computer. Unhook both battery cables and ground them out to the frame. This will bleed off any charge in the computer. Do this for at least 60 seconds. Hook the battery back up and check for messages.

If that doesn't help, make sure you have the correct bulbs. The computer sends a small electrical pulse to the lights to test them, several times a minute. If you've ever upgraded your lights (like to HID lights) or replaced the bulbs with something not OEM equivalent, this cal cause the "Lamp Out" condition.

Code p done in mileage window after installing new hubbarrings and sensors

Hi Wendy, I'm glad to help! Wendy, if there is nothing wrong with the ABS system. Then unhook the negative battery cable for 20 seconds then re-connect it and see if the light is out. If it is your good to go, but if its still on then you'll need to see what the code is to see what needs to be repaired. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Wendy.

Check that the sensor /wire was not damaged in the repair process. As the brake system is set up in a cross pattern left front and right rear and right front and left rear the code is reading the pair that is subject to failure. This crossing of the brakes is so if you have a brake failure and loss of fluid then half of the system is still operational and will allow stopping in a straight line rather than a side skid.

How to reset abs light

You did not give the year make and model, so I will give a generic answer.
The regular hydraulic brake components don't generally have anything to do with the ABS and traction control systems. And if one light comes on the other will too since the two systems are connected.
You would need to have the computer scanned for trouble codes for either system, then once the problem is fixed clearing the codes with a scanner will turn the lights off.

Popping on left front when applying brakes (ABS).

Is your ABS light on? If so, you have a bad wheel speed sensor at the LF wheel. Or, you may have rust buildup on the teeth that the speed sensor measures. Pull off the axle, and check the toothed gear that resided in the spindle.

If not, you may havea sticking caliper piston, or inadequate lubrication on the caliper slides.

95 G20 Chevy van: ABS light stays on, pulls right when braking

You actually have two separate problems. The brake pull to the right is indicating the left side brake is not working properly. You will want to remove the left front wheel, collapse the caliper piston and make sure the caliper is floating freely on its mounts.
With the piston collapsed you should be able to slide the caliper inboard and outboard of the rotor. If not, you will want to remove the attachment pins, clean and lubricate the pins. If they are grooved or worn you will have to replace them.
The second issue of the ABS light is indicating the system has detected an electrical sensing or control problem. Take the vehicle to your local Auto Zone or Advance Auto and ask them to scan the vehicle for trouble codes. They will scan it for you at no charge.
Chances are you will find a wheel speed sensor problem at one of the wheels.
Write the codes down and respond back, we can start diagnosing the problem,
Good luck, let me know.
Regards,

Abs brake light always on

Sounds like this could be a front or rear wheel sensor. You need to check the trouble code by placing a wire short across the test connector located under the dash near the radio center console. This is a blue, two pin connector plugged into a holder. placing a short wire across the two termnals and turning the key on to the II On Position will start the ABS light flashing. Do nt start the engine, just turn the key switch on.

Count the number of flashes. The first group of flashes followed by the next group of flashes. For example, four (4) flashes followed by the next group of eight (8) flashes points to the left driver side rear wheel speed sensor. check the resistance (continuity) with a meter. It should read about 1240 ohms. A resistance of 0 -100 ohms is a bad sensor. Cost of a sensor is about $126 but it is not easy to install since the old one usually is hard to remove.

Bottom line is that the ABS system probably does not work properly because the light is on. The regular brakes are OK.
