ezobens Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hello- I just replaced the rear brake pads on my 94' Eldorado per the factory shop manual. Everything went easily and by the book but now, the ABS light on the dash is on. Any suggestions on what to look for? The rear suspension has so much 'stuff' going on, I can't tell where the ABS sensors are located or if I need to reset something after changing the pads. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Elm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Elm. Had the same thing happen to me. The cause was just the plug not being fully 'home'. Right behind there rear break backing plates you'll fine the ABS plug. Gently remove it, check to make sure it's dirt and grime free, then carefully reseat it. That most likely will cure the light. If you run the codes in the onboard diagnostic, they will even steer you to which side (LR, RR) it is. Or, just re-seat both. '93 STS.. opened, dropped, wide...fast.

Well actually....hehee .....Dave the mechanic just forgot to plug the one side back on. I knew (99% sure) immediately what the cause was and steered Dave to the culprit. Not quite as bad as forgetting to tighten the oil drain plug but annoying none the less.

ezobens Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks for the advice everyone! It was the left side ABS plug on the rear wheel. I still don't know how I managed to knock it out but it's all better now. Thanks again! Elm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
