Abs light stays on and 4wd light blinks - Cars & Trucks

The light can be reset, but will come back on if problem is not fixed. 4wd comes on because of the abs problem.

If the 4wd light is blinking there is something wrong preventing the computer from using 4wd. check to see if there might be an abs code as well. we had a bad wheel bearing which also affected the wheel speed sensor that the suv needs to operate the 4wd/awd/abs correctly

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS, TPMS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

One of wheel ABS sensor is defective

My 4WD light flashing and my ABS light stays on what does this mean and what do i need to do. My vechile has about 57,000 miles on and I have never had any issues - is there and recalls or things on this model and make?

The first thing you need to do is to have the abs computer scanned for codes, the abs may be related to the 4wd problem, by scanning the codes this will give you an idea of the problem, for example they scan it and it reads p1542 rt frt sensor out of spec, this would mean theres a problem with the right front speed sensor, when ever the computer sees a problem it stores a code and turns on the light for whatr ever system fails, hope this helps.

check again the connections and that it is clipped on to supports correctly -also check the wires may have damaged or frayed one of the lines

Check this page. Very usefull for this problem.
