Hello all!

I am the fortunate recipient to receive an antilock brake light today! Any thoughts as to what could be the likely culprit?

 

all that means is that your ABS doesn't function, my 88 doesnt have ABS at all and i have no problems with it.

anyhoo, first thing to check is the speed sensors and everything out at the ends that tends to get dirty. is a 1994 OBDI ? Take it somewhere to have the code read.

 

Might just be a hiccup. Had it happen to me once. I just disconnected the battery and then reconnected it. When I re-started the car all was fine and the light never came on again. I made sure to test the anti-lock was working and it indeed was.

 

I have a 90 XJS and when I turn to the left, the ABS light come one. The system still seems to work, however. What's the issue with that?

I had that problem once.

The toothed reluctor wheel inside the right rear hub had come loose. The wheel speed sensor picked this up as a wheel speed problem....loss of signal, I guess. Only happened on left turns.

The reluctor wheel would no longer firmly press-fit onto the hub shaft. I used Loctite to keep it in place.

I'm sure there are other possibilities.

Cheers
