SOURCE: front break pads

This is an easy one. Abs or no abs changing the pads is the same.

You have to unbolt the caliper, pull out the old pads and reseat the caliper piston ( I use a large C-Clamp and the old pad to push the piston back into place.)

You are probably going to want to get your rotors turned. i bring mine to NAPA.

Put in the new pads, bolt the Caliper back on and your good to go.

SOURCE: 2001 Volvo S40 sensors?

Maybe you have iron debris stuck to the magnetic ABS sensor. behind the hub. Remove the sensor from behind the hub and clean it or remove the whole hub. To remove the hub you need to remove the calliper and rotor, knok off the centre dust cap and undo the 30mm nut and then the hub will slide off and you will see the sensor. When re fitting the hub, toque the nut to 120NM then 30degs more ( that is from Volvo Vadas official instructions).

I've just replaced the hub last night on my 2001 V40.

SOURCE: fitted new abs wheel sensor how do you turn off, 850 volvo

Most times, warning lights, engine lights ect, can be reset by disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes or so, but you will also loose any saved radio stations, times, and anything else like that.

SOURCE: Honda Civic 2007 Civic . Cahange wheel bearing and

sorry to tell you this but it sounds like the wheel bearing was put in backwards on one or both sides. the front wheel bearings have a black speed ring built in and that is what your speed sensor reads off. - this is common as the front bearings will install either way- hope this helps

Did you turn the key on at any time when the wheelspeed sensor (this is what detects the rotation of the "ABS ring") was disconnected? You may have to interrogate the ABS controller with a diagnostic computer to read the diagnostic trouble codes and then clear them. Also, you may have to drive the car 10km per hour for a few moments after the codes are cleared to get the light to go out.

My abs and brake light stay on while am driving

The computer has detected a condition that indicates a fault with the ABS/Traction system. Typically that's caused by a wheel sensor problem, but it can also be caused by a faulty connector, peripheral device or the computer.
The above is the shop or garage answear. How about telling us how to fix the problem , besides replacing the computer or wheel sensor? How do we check these things?
Sometimes can be as simple as a short circuit in the rear break lights or a faulty connection in the break lights.
You can start checking the break light system. Then the sensors and finally the computer.

ABS an break light stays on I have put on new breaks still on

There is a problem with the ABS system. It will turn on both lights. You need the ABS codes retreived in order to isolate the problem and repair the malfunction. Your normal brakes will work just fine.

I have a 2002 silverado and the abs and brake light stay on, any ideas?

You could have two separate issues or just one. First check the level of brake fluid. (brake light)Fill it and if the light goes out, then you have to use a CReader or scanner to get the ABS codes. Cold be wheel sensors, broken wire, or the ABS module. If you can't get the brake light to go out, then it is the ABS, three possible causes. One is the ABS module is dead. second is the pump has failed. third is a bad ground wire. check the ground first. The ground is the biggest wire going from the pump /module to the body. When these loose ground, I cut the end off and run a longer wire to a better spot on the body. When you see it, you will know why.

Sebring to A Neighborhood Mechanic Due to a ABS light n I took my 2000 Chrysler Sebring to A Neighborhood Mechanic Due to a ABS light n brake light on my dashboard n he told me it was the REAR ABS...

I'm sorry to say you need trained help or a good DIY neighbour to get to the bottom of this.; The ABS sensors on the rear brakes will not lead to air in the brakes or grinding of the brakes. It sounds like you have an ABS pump fault in the main unit. This can cause the brakes to hang up after releasing the pedal. The rear wheel ABS sensors may only need their mounting positions cleaned up and their location to the brake reset, this can be as little as 1-2mm. I'm sorry for your financial situation but you are going to need help and my advice is don't drive the car until you have it fixed. Your life or someone else's is in your hands.

HOW DO YOU BLEED A ABS BREAK SYSTEM? WHY DOES A ABS LIGHT STAY ON? i REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BLEED THE SYSTEM IN THE STANDERED WAY.

Most ABS lights are caused by a fault with one of the wheel speed sensors. If your brakes are working good, there should be no further bleeding necessary. Remove the wheels and inspect the speed sensors for loose connections, bad wires, or oil and grease buildup on the sensor face. Don't soak the sensors with cleaner. Use a cloth dampened with brake parts cleaner and just wipe the surface clean. If the light stays on, you may have to have it cleared with a a scan tool.

Hi

This is most likely one of 2 things 1 the abs sensor on one wheel is faulty, not uncommon cost about $80 for a new one. or you can clean the old one as often they get dirty from brake dust.

secondly the brake pads may need replacing, the ABS warning light is to let you know that these may need replacing, often when it is the brakes they will fel different as you press it down, sometimes they push back up towards you as your pushing down. I would have the back brakes checked as that is normally the cause.

you can still drive the car no problem.
hope that helps
