Sensor is on centrepiece -rear axle =possible cause.
Did you get stuck ?=possible 'stupid computer'
didn't know..
First try reset - disconnect 'negative' battery cable - turn key on and to start -then back off.
Now reconnect battery , start and drive.
If light comes back on -may need new sensor, or ?

brake light fuse
emergancy lever slightly pushed
distance sensor on rear end

worst case and rare bad abs valve

The ABS computer is seporate comp located
behind pass side kick panel in cab

The only way to reset this is to disconect
power at the unit or disconect batt

even after the prob is fixed it must be reset
to get the light off the dealer DRB is the
only way to reset this besides disconecting
power

Also the codes for the abs can only be pulled
by dealer drb or you ground one of the wires
and the ABS light will flash codes just like
the engine comp

you would need a manual to do this

I tried resetting the computer a couple of times. Would a Haynes or Chiltons manual cover this?
