KZ-TE - ABS light stay on

[Donkey]

Once engaged 4x4 low and the ABS light on the dash came on, as it should, no problem. But going back to H2 the light remianed on

So on Thursday, took off all 4 ABS speed sensors and cleaned them, both rear ones were fairly dirty and the front ones not so bad, however the light remains on. (While at it I adjusted the rear brake shoes and the handbrake works lekka again)

Questions:

1. Should I disconnect the main battery to reset the system?
2. What else generally goes wrong?
3. Is the maybe a switch/relay on the transfer case that could have packed up, and if so where exactly does it sit?

So last night I started going through the circuit diagram and noticed that there are 2 ABS ECU's behind the driver side kick panel, do these generally fail?

howdy
i might be wrong but, after cleaning sensors, initiate 4x4 again and then disingage... should reset..
otherwise yip, disconnect battery for 10 minutes and reset.

hope it works....

I suggest looking at the circuit that disengages the ABS in LR 4x4.

There must be a switch somewhere on the tranfrer case that is probably just sticky.

I am sure Hoppy can shed some light as he knows hiluxes inside out.

Keep us posted

Thanks guys for the replies/remedies, will try them out on Fri and advise.

Disconnected battery on Fri to reset ABS, and it stayed off only for a few mins only to come back on again, so will investigate a bit more.

Hey Tumelo,

I now have the same trouble on my cabby. Did you ever figure out what was wrong on yours?

Hi Julian, last I took off the 4 sensors and cleaned them, but it still stays on. Honestly been lazy on my part to follow on. I'm suspecting there is a switch on the gearbox that could also be faulty.
