Hello everyone!Recently, the abs light on my cluster went on and cant figure out what it is. i recent changed all the pads, rotors, and made sure all the lines were good. Any ideas?
 
There is a trouble shooting procedure outlined in the manual. It will pulse out the trouble code for you to narrow down the problem.
You may have disturbed an ABS sensor or wire while doing your brakes.

Brakes section: 04–02–3
The data link connector is located under the hood near the master cylinder and firewall,... make sure you jumper the right terminal.

04–02–3

ABS ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC

On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Test Description
• The OBD test inspects the integrity and function of the ABS and outputs the results when requested by the specific tests.
• On-board diagnostic test also:
— Provides a quick inspection of the ABS.
— Is usually performed at the start of each diagnostic procedure.
— Provides verification after repairs to ensure that no other faults occurred during service.
• The OBD test is divided into 3 tests:
— Read/clear diagnostic results, PID monitor and record and active command modes. Read/clear diagnostic results
• This function allows you to read or clear DTCs in the ABS HU/CM memory. PID/data monitor and record
• This function allows you to access certain data values, input signals, calculated values, and system status information.

Without using SST (WDS or equivalent)
Caution
• Connecting the wrong DLC terminal may possibly cause a malfunction. Carefully connect the specified terminal only.
1. Connect the TBS terminal at DLC to body ground using a jumper wire.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON (engine OFF).
3. After the ABS warning light illuminates for 3 sec, the ABS warning light indicates DTCs.
4. After completion of repairs, clear DTCs.

1. After repairs have been made, perform the DTCs retrieving procedure.
2. Erase DTC by WDS or equivalent.
3. Ensure that the customer’s concern has been resolved.
Note
• After repairing the ABS wheel-speed sensor or replacing ABS HU/CM, the ABS and/or BRAKE system warning light may not go off when ignition key is turned ON. In this case, start engine and drive the vehicle at a speed of more than 10 km/h {6.2 mph} until the ABS and/or BRAKE system warning light goes off.
