1993 Dodge Dakota RABS warning light on and Brake warning light. Is there a common cause for this like the rear wheel speed sensor?

Answer This Question
  • Anonymous Aug 05, 2011

    I went ahead and changed out the RABS speed sensor at the rear axle banjo housing and it cured the problem. I really thought one of you other experts would know the answer, but alas that isn't the case.

Sometimes the sensor is not touching the spindle,ck that first.

    This is REAR ABS, the sensor is triggered by the rotation of the differential ring gear. There are no sensors at the wheel's, just the one at the banjo housing. How to you self test his system?

    Good Morning: I went back over my solution for the 1994 Seville that you rated and found an error.
    The problem is most likely in C-2 which contains two BROWN wires from IGN3. Either one or both are going open when the vehicle is driven and not the ORANGE wires as first stated. I have sent a correction to the customer.

    #1...I would have appreciated some sort of an explanation...#2...Dropping a thumb on an obviously localized fault, in my opinion, was an over reaction on your part... You would have garnered the same results by merely pointing out my error...Saailer

ABS and Brake warning lights intermittent may be caused by a failing wheel speed sensor(ABS Sensor) and /or its connector. You may have one on each wheel hub(4WD) or if 2WD, a sensor may be on the rear axle differential center.

1998 Dodge Dakota, the brake light and ABS lights are on with brake pedal pushed and the rear wheels continue to spin.
check the rear wheel sensor wires and sensors . IT appears that the ABS is receiving ( or not receiving a signal telling the unit that the wheels spinning) a bad signal saying that the wheels are stopped and so the fluid to the wheels is restricted to allow them to spin. Check the fluid level in the reservoir as there may be no oil in the section of the master cylinder for the rear wheels and that half is not working

92 dodge dakota brake light abs light stuck on
ABOVE "Answers??" are only 1/2 correct ! Reason is:#1 doesn't help if you have 89-93 Dakota with ABS on REAR 2 wheels only. #2 is wrong BECAUSE ANY loss of brake fluid to rear leveling block sensor(located within frame above rear axle) will trigger cpu to keep abs light on=NOT electrical.#3 is worthless because it does not address brake fluid problem/air in system only(probably how to clear/read code by turning ignition switch). Answer=:Turn ignition key to just before start 3 times and wait a couple of sec for abs light to blink. Count # of blinks between pause and write down CODE ie 4 blinks=#4 pause 7 blinks=#7 the example code= 47. Look up code and read problem;CLEAR code by disconnect battery for 5 min to let cpu erase code. If spongy pedal or need fluid; bleed at all wheels PLUS at rear leveling block contained in frame(it has a small bleeder valve too and hard to get to!). If you have later models from 1995? with new system III you will need code reader/tester. P.S. If you have a parasitic electrical leak(battery goes down over 1-3 days) check fillament(sic) on rear bulbs. One could be broken and lay against other. Bulb will work most of time BUT WILL BE PARTIAL SHORT-therefore draining battery! Good luck-Rick

1999 dodge dakota Abs light on and e-brake light on. Speedometer doesn't read untill 25 mph
The speed sensor that controls the speedometer is located in the top of the rear differential housing, this is your most likely problem and is very common with this vehicle. Being that it is a direct input to the ABS module it will cause those indicators to illuminate when the sensor fails.

Abs light stays on and odometer quit working
Hi!!
When Yellow ABS warning light illuminates during normal operation, the system has detected a problem and has stored a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). Loss of power to module will cause system to be deactivated and Yellow ABS warning light to be illuminated. This fault will not set a DTC.
The Rear Anti-Lock Brake System II (RABS II) Speed Sensor is located on the Rear Differential Case. This sensor sends the speed signal of the rear tires to the RABSII Control Module, which also receives the Turbine Shaft Speed Sensor. The RABSII Control Module uses both signals to control the RABS II Proportioning Valve. If the RABSII Control Module does not receive both signals, the ABS Light will come ON.
Finally, the Sensor I think is giving you trouble. The Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) Sensor is located on the transmission tail. This sensor sends the speed signal to the PCM which in turn sends it to the Speedometer and to the RABSII Module. If this sensor is disconnected or inoperative, the Speedometer won't work and the ABS light will come ON. Check electrical connector to the sensor, make sure is clean, free of corrosion and properly connected.
Before you replace the sensor, have the computer codes scanned for FREE at AutoZone, Checkers or similar autoparts store.
Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.

ABS light & brake light on, problems with speedo working properly
The rear wheel speed sensor is the most common problem on those trucks and will do what you are talking about. It is located at the top of the rear axle in the center. It picks up it's signal from a tone ring on the diff inside! If a tranny input or output sensor is bad then the tranny won't shift properly!

Dodge Dakota overdrive and ABS/brake problem
The problem could be in your differential. If the ABS traction ring has any defects in the teeth, the rear wheel speed sensor will stop registering and disable your ABS.
This may not resolve your transmission concern, but it may answer your ABS/Brake light problem.

Speedometer
check for a connector not fully seated.

here's info

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
On vehicles equipped with 4-wheel anti-lock brake systems (4WABS), the vehicle speed signal is generated by the rear anti-lock brake sensor and sent to the 4WABS module. The 4WABS module sends the vehicle speed signal via circuit 679 (GY/BK) to all systems that require a vehicle speed signal input. Vehicles equipped with rear anti-lock brakes (RABS) generate a vehicle speed signal from the rear axle speed sensor. The generic electronic module (GEM) receives this signal (VSS_GEM) for internal use and then distributes it to the appropriate other users (i.e., the powertrain control module [PCM], speed control module, and speedometer).
Speedometer
The electronic speedometer (17255) receives a speed signal from the 4WABS module (if equipped with 4WABS) or the generic electronic module (GEM)/central timer module (CTM) (if equipped with RABS). RABS = Rear antilock brake system

Dash warning light
Do you mean the ABS and BRAKE lights? If so, the ABS module is bad which causes both lights to come on. After rebooting, the module gets tested and the ABS light will come on after a few seconds. If it a module problem the BRAKE light will also come on. The brakes will work normally, but will not provide the anti-lock feature.
