What causes my abs light to stay on - 2005 Ford Lincoln Continental

When the ABS light stays on it means the control module has detected a fault in the ABS system, the light is turned on to alert you and the ABS system is turned off, so right now you have plain old brakes, no ABS. You must have the ABS code read and then diagnosed for the defective part that is causing this light.

Sounds like a fault with the Antilock Braking System. The vibration in the pedal is the ABS working. With your foot on the brake pedal, it releases and re-applies the brakes to stop a skid from the wheels locking up. You need professional service for brakes.

Seems to be a known issue on all Cadillac and requires the ABS module to be replaced.

Did you bleed your brakes? If you didn,t there is air in the lines ,This will cause the light to stay on, Or you might have a (Faulty) ABS sensor on one of the brakes,

ABS light on did they check codes ? The light staying on an no codes is usually a insturment cluster problem not the EBCM - electronic brake control module . No relay in side the module , a transistor or diver as they call them . This transistor will supply a ground on a electrical circuit from the brake lamp driver module ,when it does this the brake lamp driver module ground a electrical circuit for the ABS light . If anything is bad causing the ABS light to stay on it would be the brake lamp driver module . Your best bet ,take it to a GM service dept.

One of wheel ABS sensor is defective

Wheel speed sensors misadjusted, damaged , or metal shavings and other debree, since they are magnetic can give false readings from one of the wheel circuits. Over sized tires can give of false speed readings as well. there are many other causes including bad relay, control module, e.t.c. It is best to have the proper scan tool to diagnose an ABS problem

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 car

Have you checked your brake fluid? It may be low or an indication that the brake pads are worn, causing the light to stay on.

Get your ABS fixed. The airbag light can only be reset by a dealer. Usually caused by a bad or disconnected seat sensor

For the security light you need to replace the ignition lock cylinder or bypass the security system. For the other two, you need to have the car scanned to see what codes are in the ecm and the abs module.
