It is telling you that some thing is wrong with the Anti Lock Brake system. It is not referring to the pads. It should flash a certain number of times mixed with short and long flashes when you turn on the car. Count the short and long, this is a code to tell you what is wrong with your system. let me know the count and I will help you decipher the code. The OBD scanners that parts stores use wont read the ABS system. My past experience is taking it to te dealership for that.

I have a 2001 dewoo leganza that the abs light stays on i have change all of the brake pads on it but it still stays on even try to pull the 60 amp fuse but when i pulled it the light still stays on

although the ABS uses the brake system it functions independently and is comprised of mostly electrical components. Worn brake pads will not effect the abs systems function.

What you need to do is have the ABS system scanned for codes. This will give you a much clearer idea of the direction to go in order to solve the problem. Since the light comes on and stay on after you start the vehicle the ABS system has a failure in its self check. Common causes of this are bad wheel speed sensors but there are numerous other possibilities.

If you have an ohm meter you can check the resistance of all the wheel speed sensors. if one is not simular to the others than that would be a good place to start.

My SRS, ABS, and Brake lights stay on. Sometimes the Brake light will go out but sometimes it will stay on. The SRS and ABS lights are always on. The car seems to be driving okay.

brake light could be a sensor wire or the pads are worn out ,the srs light could be the wiring connections under the front seats ,the connectors need a clean or rubbish under the seat has dislodged them.Abs light coming on could be caused by the low brake pads but its doubtful more like one of the metal toothed rings is loose on the drive shaft ,also could be low on brake fluid if the pads have worn down and the fluid level has dropped

I changed the brake pads on a 05 equinox

Did you bump the ABS pickup at the wheel hub when you changed the brakes? Or are the wires maybe nicked? The noise is normal and might go away depending on the brake pad type you replaced with. The ABS problem might be caused by you.

ASC & ABS light on cluster

Check to see if your brake pads and rotors are in good condition. Or if you have replaced the pads yourself and have not reset the wheel sensors this would cause the ABS Antilock Brake System light and the ASC Automatic Stability Control light to stay on as the ASC uses the ABS brakes with computer assistance to control the traction of the car if not fixed it can effect your rev limiter slowing performance

ABS light and alarm constanly on

try changing your pads all round as they have sensors for each set of pads or just try and get a set of sensors
