1998 Camry ABS light - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I was storing my car outside, it sat for probably 4-5 months. I just started driving it and I noticed the abs light is now on. It was wet out and I tested the brakes and they "lock up" instead of acting with the antilock? Everything was fine before I stored the car. Any ideas?

On the plus side, I just got 5% tint all the way around with clear corner lights, I'll be showing pics soon...

It's probably frozen up a bit? Pull the wheels and inspect the brake hardware...

...and post up some piccies of them, too!

if da abs is on it means dat the abs isnt working at all. thats y its lcoking up. maybe it needs brake fluid? or not enough pressure to the hydraulic lines.

Pull the battery terminals off for 5 minutes. Re-connect, start the car and see if the light comes back on. If it does, take it to the shop and have them test the wheel speed sensors and control module. ABS problems usually arise from wiring issues, bad control module or bad wheel speed sensor(s). Good luck.
