What's involved

What this repair actually is.

The ABS light means your anti-lock braking system has detected a fault and has shut itself off — your regular brakes still work, but the anti-skid protection does not. A technician scans the ABS module, reads live wheel-speed data, and tests the sensors, wiring, and module to confirm the exact failure before quoting a repair.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • ABS light on in the dash
  • Traction control light on with it
  • Brake pedal feels different than usual
  • Grinding or pulsing from the brakes at low speed
  • Light comes and goes with bumps or weather
If you delay

You lose anti-lock protection in panic stops and on wet roads, and an ABS light is an automatic NY state inspection failure.

Educational estimate. Real pricing depends on your vehicle, the inspection, parts availability, taxes, and shop rates. Use this as a guide while you shop quotes.
