ABS is...Anti Braking System.
Your car Nissan Silvia S15, your engine name is SR20. They made from Japan model.
There is plenty of Japanese import shop. Got spare with parts.. Find your local..Talk to Japanese people. They love on Silvia. :-)

1999 Ford F-250 4x4. The ABS light is on, and the speedometer doesn't work. I replaced the speed sensor on the differential. It is still doing it. Plus it shifts hard and won't go into 3rd gear.

Question edited for clarity and make some real sentences.
Question moved to model category.

See the first video, but by the sounds of it, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose these faults electronically. ABS, Speedometer and Transmission Solenoids.

2010 Range Rover Sport, ABS not working light

Speedometer Not Working ' Range Rovers Forum
I would first check all fuses you may have several fuses which can be associate with your problems, not sure why radio would be associated.
My 07 Silverado gave me ABS, Traction control light it turned out to be rear axle left and right speed sensors which are used for ABS, all four tires have a speed sensor for ABS on my Silverado. My speedometer sensor is on the transmission. Just pointing out need to have the code read. My code reader did not read ABS codes, you need a code reader which reads ABS I had to go buy one. It told me the sensors which needed to be replaced. Want to add it could be a wiring issue to the sensors also.

I would also suggest you get the code read auto parts store where I live will usually give you the code. You can search on google, put the year, make, modal and the codes which was read, you will get some posts/links which can tell you what the problem is and what others did to repair it.

97 nissan 2 4 speedometer cable

Sounds as if it is a cable or the speedo sensor. If there is ABS it could also be the ABS sensor playing up on one of the wheels.
Best advice is take it to a diagnostic place or find a local mobile diagnostic mechanic where they can tell you why the light is coming on the desk.. This may be a cheaper way as they may be able to tell you the exact part which is showing the fault.

1999 saab 95 speedometer not working, abs and check engin light comes on

You will need to have your car's ECM (Computer) read by a OBD II scanner to determine what Trouble Code your ECM is giving so a mechanic can properly diagnose the problem. You can go to your local AutoZone store and they can pull the codes out of your ECM for no charge.

Sound when car sitting / ABS and Brake lights

The ABS module when active makes noise when it is trying to control the vehicle by applying "leave" and "press" mechanism. If the lights are coming on , it is possible that the ABS needs to be fixed. Take it to the authorized service centre to electornically diagnose and reset the codes.

My 99' volvo v70 continually flashes the traction control and abs warning light and the speedometer stops working the trip meter and the odometer go blank than all of a sudden it will start working again...

Sounds like a bad ABS control module is at least part of your problem. The symptoms are usually and ABS and TRACS light intermittent or constand and eventually your speedometer works intermittently or totally quits. This guy rebuilds/upgrades them for about $140. New ones run over $800. http://home.earthlink.net/~vicrocha/Volvo_Parts/Volvo_ABS_removal.htm

Brakes grindind at low speed

Sounds like your getting abs activation when its not needed. Most likley one of the wheel speed sensors has failed. You do need to have a scan tool to read the live data from the abs module as the problem is occurring to pinpoint which sensor is faulty. The abs light will not come on because the abs module thinks its just working normally. I'm an ASE certified mechanic and have seen this problem many times on various vehicles. You might have to pay somebody to diagnose it, but replacing the sensor it a very easy task. I hope this helps.

ABS light comes on 97 Jimmy

The Airbag and ABS are separate systems and un-related, the speedo is related to the ABS light, I think if you run a self test on the system computer there will be a trouble code for the transmission speed sensor, the output of this sensor is used by the ABS and the speedometer. The airbag is most likely a defective rotating contact under the steering wheel, we techs call it a clock-spring contact because of it's shape, it allows the connection from the steering column to the airbag. CAUTION! If you want to change out this contact the steering wheel needs to be pulled, follow factory recommendations on dis-arming the airbag, it can be very dangerous if you don't.
