abs light on?

anyone know anything about this? the brakes seem fine. this is on a 1998
stratus w/v6 es model.

 

You would have to connect a scan tool to see what fault code is stored in
the ABS Controller.

My ABS light started to come on intermitently and then more and more
often on a 97 Dodge Caravan ES. The code came back as loss of voltage
to sensor. Chrysler Tech on this NG advised that a weak battery will
cause that code to set. Since the battery (Interstate) was about 4+
years old, I went ahead and replaced it with a Duralast Gold from
AutoZone That was in June. No problems since..

 

I have a scan tool but I don't believe it shows abs codes. does the dealer
have a special scan tool for this? my scan tool says no codes in memory.
I'll check the voltage on the battery. thanks Randy

 

Your scann tool is probably only used for PCM fault codes and will not pick
up ABS or air bag faults.

you're right glenn, I just read that somewhere too. thanks

 

I have the exact same car and experienced a similar problem at 100k
miles. I had a fair amount of pulsation in the brakes when stopping. I
did a brake job (pads/shoes and resurfaced rotors/drums) which
eliminated the pulsation and the ABS light has never come on since.

 

thanks for the info

 

well i had a blown 20amp fuse in the PDC box .i put in a new one and light
is out and all seems fine now.
