[Cell Block 726]

The abs light has been on forever now , was just wondering if anyone knows how to clear what i believe may be a hard code without takiing it to the dealer,all wheel sensors appear ok and connections at modulator, i work at an Acura dealer and have tried using our obd2 scan tool but does not work in the abs mode ,also found nothing on "all data" info. site. any suggestions?

Sometimes you just have to do things the old fashioned way.
Unplug each sensor and check each with a meter. I'd try the most likely first and check the fronts since the cables are always flexing.

did you check the fuse for the abs? the ones that is inside the jeep not, under the hood. i blew that one a couple times, and that will get the light on

Hey Blackdiamondbound, would a blown interior fuse cause the ABS to not work or just cause the light to come on? Cause my ABS has not worked since this winter and it is starting to bug me.

TIA

If and when the light comes on, it means no worky.
Doubt if the ABS and interior share a fuse.

in my 93-95 there is a fuse box on the side of the glove box, i do not think the newer zj have one there. there is a little fuse i think its like a 10 or somthing in there, and i hooked up a switch to it, so i can turn the abs off when i am wheeling. when i turn it off the abs light pops on and the abs no longer works. when i turn it back on it will take a couple seconds and i can hear it in the engine bay turn back on, then the light goes off and everything is back to normal.

i think i read you had a 96, so check your owners manual see where the fuse box inside your jeep and check that. if i remember right there is also a big fuse inside the engine bay too for the abs.

I fixed mine by removing the bulb.

I fixed mine by removing the bulb.

That's treating the symptom, not fixing the problem.
Kinda like having a case of the sheeites and fixing it by putting cable ties around the pants cuffs.
