Hey,

Does anyone know how to turn off the ABS light?

When I got my clutch changed, I forgot to tell the mechanic it was lit up.

Thanks!

ABS light doesn't need to be reset via any method but to make sure it's functioning 100%. Check the following:

- Brake Fluid Reservoir is Full (MAX)
- Check for ECU fault codes via SCS trick - This will determine why it's triggered (search the procedure, you only need your keys and a paper-clip)
- Check that all 4 corner's ABS sensors are in-tact and do not have a break in the wire - It's just a black magnetic sensor that bolts up onto your control arms close-ish to the wheel bearing.

My bet is that when your mechanic changed the clutch, he must've disconnected an ABS wheel sensor (whether he forgot to bolt it back, or damaged the wiring) .

Peace.

Or it could have messed around with Brake Master cylinder by accident and pushed the little floatie down, just flick it around so it comes back up.

If not then yea it could be taht he did damage the wires on the ABS like zhong said

Check ABS Fuse FIRST! Before you go the trouble of all that.

I replaced my fuse for like $6 when my ABS light came on...a few weeks later it got tested, and it worked thankfully.
