If it comes on and stays after you start the car it has failed a self check. The most common failure for this symptom is an open wheel speed sensor. Have the ABS system scanned this will give you a trouble code. The trouble code will identify what part of the ABS system you need to focus your attention to.

I got a Lincoln navigator 2004 my abs ight and avtra light How turn it off

The ABS warning light is on because the control module for the ABS has sensed a fault, until the fault is repaired the light will remain on and you have no ABS brakes. You need the ABS system scanned for the fault code to see what part or wiring is defective. When the system is repaired the light will go out.

Clearing abs light on 1997 oldsmobile cutlass supreme

The abs light is not part of the obd2 system. It can't be cleared. The problem must be corrected to turn ir off. Pulling the fuse will allow normal operation without abs capability and the light will remain on

ABS shoots on all the time

The reason the system "growls" until the light comes on is that when the light is on, the system has determined there is a problem and disabled the system. The "growling" is the pump running. You can get a scanner that is able to access and scan the ABS module. This will give you a place to start.

Meaning of ABS light

On vehicles equipped with antilock brakes (ABS), a second warning light is provided to warn if a problem occurs within the ABS system. The ABS lamp comes on when the ignition is turned on for a bulb check, then goes out after the engine starts. If the ABS warning light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates a fault has occurred in the ABS system.

What happens next depends on the nature of the fault. On most applications, the ABS system disables itself if the ABS warning light comes on and remains on.

ABS warning light remains on during operation

Have a code reader or scanner put on it. Most likely the code will point to a bad Wheel Speed Sensor.

Have to delite the abs lamp after chengce abs sensor? accent 97mod

If the ABS wheel speed sensor was defective and you replaced it, the ABS light will automatically turn off once the vehicle is driven. If the ABS light stays on, you still have another problem in the system.
If the light remains on, have the codes read and reply back with the codes and we can start diagnosing.
