ABS Warning Light is always on

[mazdamazda]

Just yesterday, the ABS warning light of our 323 just light up and stayed on. Even after stopping & starting again the engine it still is on.

No noticeable difference in braking power though according to my brother.

What could be the causes of this? Any quickfix to this problem?

Thanks,

Maybe the sensor is malfunctioning? It happened to a Fortuner in the other forum.

Ok thanks!

Saan ba located ang sensors ng ABS? In the brake system itself?

[userfriendly]

What I would suggest is to bring it to a reputable shop, casa even and have them connect it to a OBD scanner or whatever that computer is called and check the error codes.

Have the same light on in the Volvo. One of the rear wheel sensors is at fault. Hindi na namin pinaayos muna (the part is big and expensive for a Volvo, don't know for a Japanese brand). Black electrical tape over the idiot light.

Ok na remedio yun ah. hehehe

seriously, isn't that dangerous?

[OTEP]

It's just like driving a vehicle without ABS on one of the rear wheels.

All of our daily drivers are non-ABS equipped anyways.

Volvo tech assured at that braking performance will not diminish (did on-road brake tests).

The ABS pump and braking system itself is ok. It just can't read the rear wheels clearly enough.

Have it scan.It could be alot of things.

bro. ganyang-ganyan din yung nangyari sa Familia nung sister ko.
the culprit - ABS Sensors.

so many reasons for the warning lamp to illuminate and dis-able the system. pero meron din mga simple reasons like, naputol ang wire ng sensor kung minsan nga kinakagat ng aso ( he he), or inspect mo na rin ang tone ring sa may gulong kung minsan balot lang ng putik or dumi kaya walang pulse reading

Madalas nga yung wheel sensors ang may fault. Exposed kasi sa environment.

thanks guys.

baka nga ung sensor... may problem din kasi ung front suspension (some squeaking sound) after having it repaired.

Have you tried to activate the ABS with hard braking? Tignan mo muna kung affected. If it's over-active, better have it fixed... if it's out... oks lang yun...

e pano kung hindi nag-off yung ABS light, pero nung nirestart ko nag-off din after. minsan lang ito mangyari, at kasabay niyang umiilaw ang hand brake light. ano kaya ang problema kapag ganun?

[hens]

problema ko rin ngayon yan..hehehe

pansin ko medyo malalim na rin yung brake disc rotor ..pero, i-try ko rin palinis muna (baklas) yung caliper..baka makatipid pa ng konti..hehehe

Had a friend who bought a LC100, one time the handbrake light turned on and wont go off. pina check sa casa and they also found out that the abs warning light has no bulb in it. when they put in a new bulb it was lighting up, sira pala ABS. if the warning light is on its just same old vehicle without ABS ang function ng brakes.

Importante diyan is road test niyo. Yung samin ginamitan ng scan tool and road test to determine what was at fault.

So now, we just drive it like it has conventional brakes.

mazdamazda, bring it over and we'll scan it for you

papa mazda2x,

baka abs sensor marumi.

[swordsman]

same problem with ABS light of my then 316i, though mukhang di naman yata ABS pump(ang mahal nito)...madumi lang sensor. after a few times na pabalik-balik sa shop to have the deym sensor cleaned/fixed, i decided to just have the abs light 'disconnected'. kakairita kasi pag nakailaw
