ABS light

[Protege_MP3_506]

Why is my ABS light on??? We dont have ABS I thought, correct me if i'm wrong. Any ideas?

I didnt think my mp3 had abs. Is your brake fluid low? Got me sorry

 

[axisboldaslove]

time to fill up that brake fluid

if the light comes on chances are either fluid is low or pads are low

bad sensor....won't that show up on a code reader?? for the exact cause

It came on after I disconnected my power steering pump tho... Yeah I thought we didnt have ABS cause my car didnt stop as fast as the ladies in front of me once

MSPs didn't have ABS either IIRC.

MP3s don't either.

if the abs light comes on and stays on....can't a reader pull of why though??

 

[Metallic36]

No, it won't always show the reason. Mine is on, and nobody knows why. I figure it may be because I need brakes, a speed sensor/abs sensor, or something.

03.5 MSP's DO have ABS, not sure about 03's.

The fluid could be full but dirty. If your fluid is dark, it can trigger the sensor. This happened on my friends truck. His ABS light kept coming on around hard corners. I told him he didn't have ABS, but sure enough the light would come on. We exchanged the fluid in the reservoir and voila, no more light. You really should have the brake fluid flushed every few years anyway.
