Turning off abs light
So cars been parked up for a month now and hand brake light and ABS light are on, I've taken it for a good spin to try to get ABS light off but still on, tried using OBD2 to turn off codes but nothing. Found a YouTube video that tells you how to reset your ABS but it's a US video and can't find the wires needed.

damp has probably got into one of the sensors - so ideally you need to find out which sensor and replace it
|
Diagnostic tool got no codes, so not sure which one. Guessing front as brakes are grinding abit. Going to fit new callipers and discs asap. Just need ABS light off for mot :confused:

What car.

A run of the mill/cheapo OBD scanner is usually only programmed for engine codes. Only the more expensive units have ABS and the like as additional test units.
Which model/year/UK/JDM of impreza are we talking about? as you appear to have/had various models......... If it's a classic, as per vid, you may find the two black earth wires taped up out of the way. If it's a newageMY06/07 then it's all done via the OBDII port and SSM. |
you sould use another obd diagnose device which you can look into ecm brake can etc.(obd scanner usually doesn't work)

I last used it on a Hawkeye, as my ABS light came on intermittently. Logged as right rear ABS sensor faulty. Investigated and the rear right driveshaft nut had loosened off, allowing the sensor to, quite literally, read out of range, by distance! |
Ah nice, shame there out of stock will keep eyes peeled. Might pop to garage see if they can check code for me and buy one when come in stock.

Are you supposed to connect wires into the black connector? If yes, and if it's similar to mine, then there are a couple of wires taped to the wiring harness itself behind the black plug. When removing the black electrical tape, 2x cables with pins will be revealed.
