Good morning, 2001 Dodge Dakota has the ABS light and the brake light ON. . Any idea what I should be looking for to figure this one out... ' Steve

a code

~:~ MarshMonster ~sips his crown'n'coke.......hopes he pass's the test and gits his patch~ ~:~

If your brakes are working fine and you have good pedal, I would look at a wheel speed sensor if I didn't have the error code. Getting an error code for the problem is the best bet.

In responce to Marsh Monster 's post. I thought everyone should know:

wery helpful marsh ;)

to answer the guys question in reality, the most likely and common cause of this is the rear wheel speed sensor in the top of the axle housing. i think its a $30 part.

That's what fixed mine.

Chris, in reality, you didn't answer the guys question. The guys question was what should he be look'n for.......well......

THE FIRST THING to look for on a computerized system that has SET a code.........IS THE CODE.

;)

but.......in reality.......he could jest chunk parts at it i reckon till the problem goes away.

After all.......speed sensors don't cost much.....

do they?

very helpfull Chris, ;)

~:~ MarshMonster ~wash's the s*it off a shroom.......drops it in the boiling water.........mmmmmm........this could be a good batch~ ~:~

That's what fixed mine.

Ken- ======= =======

I fixed one with a fuse.

I fixed another by adding brake fluid.

I fixed another by cleaning the sensor.

I fixed another by by rebuilding the differential.

I fixed another by changing out the brake module.

but............

no arguements about the fact that checking codes is the best thing to do, but given the failure rate of the item i mentioned, it wouldnt be a terribly unsafe bet to say that it probably is the culprit. dont forget i said probably.
