Chances are there is some crap in the sensor. I just replaced a wheel bearing and had the wheel off since Friday. Just got everything back together today and my ABS light came on during the test drive.

I'm gonna take the wheel off again and blow out the sensor and see if that helps. But not today.

Make sure your brake booster line is properly sealed onto the check valve.

ABS light went out by itself and hasn't come back on. I guess whatever was blocking the sensor cleaned itself out with all the rain we had.

That happend to me and it came on 8 days later after it turned it self off. Then it would be on for 2 days then off for a week for a month now it is on all the time
