Abs wheel sensor - 1997 Suzuki Baleno

You need a mechanic with a high level scan tool to check the Diagnostic Trouble Codes and Live Data. It is probably ABS Sensor related, but should never leave you with no brakes..

No, an abs sensor only senses the speed of the wheel. When one wheel locks up or is running considerably slower than the other wheels during braking the ABS system will reduce the braking power to that wheel to stop it locking up, hence the term Anti Lock Brakes. This happens in milliseconds. The sensor itself cannot lock a wheel up.

THE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS ARE PART OF THE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLIES.THEY ARE A 2 WIRE HALL EFFECT SENSOR. DISCONNECT THEY HARNESS AND USE A DVOM (DIGITAL VOLT OHM METER) SET ON AC VOLTAGE AND SPIN THE WHEEL WHILE CONNECTED TO THE SENSOR IN THE WHEEL BEARING. IF YOU DONT GET A READING REPLACE WHEEL BEARING. IF YOU DO ITS A WIRING ISSUE BETWEEN SENSOR AND ABS MODULE.

Having the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's would be a good first step . ABS light on codes are stored . Suggest you take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop that has the knowledge an testing equipment to diagnose the problem properly .
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The 4-wheel, 4-channel anti-lock brake system (ABS) consists of the following components:

• Front wheel speed sensor ring (integral to the front wheel bearing)
• Hydraulic control unit (HCU)
• Rear wheel speed sensor
• Rear wheel speed sensor ring (integral to the rear halfshaft)
• Yellow ABS warning indicator
• As you can see here , it can set numerous
• DTC'S Why guess an replace parts that won't fix the problem .

This is a common issue, and is pretty easy to fix. There are ABS sensors on the wheels, and you have a bad one. Usually the wires become corroded, and are easy to spot. The unit is on the back side of the wheel assembly.

You have 4 wheel speed sensors. There is one at each wheel located just behind the hub. You can trace it by loacting the black insulated wire leading out from the wheel well and going behind the wheel.

yes they are four wheel abs that means there are four sensors one for each wheel

Prior to the brakes being replaced you more than likely had metal to metal contact which can throw metal shavings on the ABS wheel sensors. This metal shavings stick to the road grime on the wheel sensors showing the ABS computer a false reading making the ABS light come on. On Ford Windstars, the ABS light and the traction control light are on the same circuit. A simple (and cheap) fix is to pull the ABS wheel sensors and clean them with brake cleaner or throttle body cleaner. Make sure you dry them well and reinstall. On the Windstar there is one bold holding the sensors to the back of the wheels. I recommend you spray some WD40 on the bold and wait about 10 minutes before removing.
If this doesn't fix the ABS light and brakes, you can have the ABS system diagnosed at a shop for about an hour labor. (Usally about $100)
I have fixed many of these type of problems just by cleaning the ABS wheel sensors. Good luck.
