Subject: Re: ABS warning light
I have this same problem. I have tried several things to try and fix it. I
replaced my brake pads with nice organic ones. I had the rotors turned. I
sucked out all the brake fluid with a turkey baster and poured new fluid
in(careful not to spill any because it eats paint). and just this weekend I
had my tires rotated and ballanced at Sears (cost me $32). since then I
haven't seen the light come on. But it's intermittant. I took it to the Saab
dealer and they said the Wheel Speed Sensor on the front drivers side is
bad. I'm going to try and replace the wheel speed sensor cable if the light
comes on again. and if that doesn't solve the problem then I'll go ahead and
replace the speed sensor (the Saab dealer quoted me a price on the part..
it's only about $100).
