ABS Warning light
Hi All,
I am cross posting this here since Honda Passport and Isuzu Rodeo are prety much identical. I have a 2000 Rodeo LS 4X4. Recently my ABS warning light (Orange) coming on and couldn't reset it. Not sure which wheel sonsor is the culprit. Local Isuzu dealer would charge $85 to identify where the problem is. Unfortunately, the warranty period is over and I don't feel like spending $85 + the repair cost. If I can get some help from you guys to identify the problem, I may be able to get OEM parts or from the junkyards. Local AutoZone has OBD readers but not for ABS Warnings. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mathew |

You need to find out which code(s) are stored before you do anything.

If it can sit on the driveway and idle for five minutes and not generate a light, it's probably a wheel sensor. Once you start moving, the system looks for a clean signal from all four sensors (as well as the speed sensor). Inspect the tone rings on the front for obvious rust / dirty grease accumulation. Knowing your mileage is a help too. Have the brakes been bled according to the schedule? 'Curly' |

Thanks for the info. My vehicle has 65K on it. The ABS warning light is
stale all the time. The moment you start the vehicle it comes on and I don't have to drive. For the last two weeks it was on and off ocationaly. Now, it will not go away. I can rule out the rear since the rear brakes were changed 2 month ago and I did not get any warning at that time. My suspecion is the front. I bought this vehicle as used and not know all the history. The braking part is working find just the warning light is concerning me. I can ask my mechanic to bleed and see whether it solve the problem. I have the Haynes manual but there is nothing about ABS sensor or speed sensor. I don't even know how it would looks like. Is there any web link I can check for additional info? Appreciate your help. Mathew |

Pump or ECU would be my suspicion. |
