i have a 04 neon r/t and the abs light is on. to my knowledge the abs seems to be working fine. i have ran a scanner on it and no codes came up, any ideas?

 

How's your brake fluid? Low? Old?

 

probably been in for the life of the car 40,000 miles. i checked it when it came on and it was on the level.

 

Does the light stay on the entire time or when you are braking?

 

all the time, at first it was hit or miss, coming on mostly when it rained and i hit a puddle. then it started coming on more frequent, and the first stop i took would usually be pretty hairy, as the brakes seemed like they werent there. now it is on all the time, brakes are working fine, but the abs light stays on all the time.

 

are there wires or sensors around the front wheels? maybe i should check there

 

The reason I ask if it came on and off is, if your pads are low, it can cause the ABS light to come on when you are braking. Takes more fluid to push out a low pad, so the fluid could get too low and come on at that point, then go away when you let off the pedal as the reservoir fills back up (speaking from personal experience here).

There are ABS Sensors on each wheel. It does sound like you may want to check those and the wires.

 

the pads can be checked off the list as a suspect they are under 6000 miles old. will check the sensors and wires when i get a chance. dont understand why that wouldnt show on a scanner though.

 

Yeah, I'm not too sure either. I'm don't fully understand what causes everything with ABS, especially the light.
