Default Re: Following the ABS troubleshooting steps; Have any suggestions?

If you have the service manual see the "Symptom Troubleshooting" list and
check the items listed for the symptom of abs indicator stays on.
Or,
Check the power and the ground systems to the abs control unit. Make sure
the control unit is securely mounted (grounded) to the body too.
