How to eliminate the ABS light?

The method to eliminate the ABS light is: go to a professional institution or 4S shop to read the fault code, and then carry out targeted repair. ABS is the anti-lock braking system, whose function is to automatically control the size of the braking force of the brake during car braking, so that the wheels are not locked and are in a state of rolling and sliding, to ensure that the adhesion between the wheels and the ground is at the maximum. During braking, ABS can quickly determine the locking state of the wheels based on the speed signals transmitted by the speed sensor of each wheel, close the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is starting to lock, and keep the braking force unchanged. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, and the braking pressure on this wheel rapidly decreases due to the pipeline that directly connects to the brake fluid storage tank, preventing the wheel from being completely locked due to excessive braking force.
I saw the ABS light come on last time I was driving, and it was a bit scary on the highway, but I managed to pull over safely. After checking, the battery voltage was fine, and the fuses were okay. It turned out that the right rear wheel sensor was covered in mud. I cleaned it with a cloth, restarted the car, and the light went off. If you don’t have tools, try opening the hood and replacing the ABS fuse—sometimes it’s blown. But remember, an ABS system failure can affect braking, especially on wet or slippery roads, so delaying repairs is dangerous. That’s why I always make sure to clean the sensor area near the wheel rims to prevent it from happening again. If this happens, don’t delay—get it checked at a professional shop to avoid bigger issues.
