Thanks   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Senior Member Username: Gregdavis Post Number: 791 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Monday, April 07, 2003 - 11:33 am:    Jorge, if it's still on after a few restarts, you'll need the Testbook (available at the dealer) to reset the lights. Sounds like an ABS sensor went bad. Under warranty?   Jorge D.

I talked to the dealership yesterday and they explained that they woould have to test all sensor and determine which one is bad. is this the only way to do it? how expensive? my problem is that I am 4 hours away from a dealership!! On a different item, I have noticed that my tires are showing a very uneven outer edge on the thread, if it makes sense! a guy told me that this is due to back shocks/springs! is this true? the tires are noiser than normal, and you can see how uneven it is when I drive on sand and it sticks in the tires..youi have an on-off pattern of marks. any thoughts?   Brian Friend (Brianfriend) Senior Member Username: Brianfriend Post Number: 632 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2003 - 01:00 pm:    Jorge, Sounds like a tire rotation issue or a bent or out of adjustment track rod. Check toe in tow out and rotate your tires and see if that hlps.   jim randall (Rover47) New Member Username: Rover47 Post Number: 14 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 11:18 am:    There are shops out there with the Auto Logic tester that can check it out. Atlantic British sells them. They can find out if there is one in your area. Call or "E" mail them   Rod Parker (Rparker) New Member Username: Rparker Post Number: 1 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 11:53 pm:    I have the same problem. I took it to the dealer and they replaced an ABS wheel speed sensor. The problem went away for about 5 miles, then came back. I have a friend who also has this problem with the lights, although it is intermittent. I'm beginning to suspect the computer is sending a false signal. I hope someone out there has had the same experience and can shed some light on it.
