2: anyone who has fixed this code before if there was an easier or different solution (such as cleaning a sensor instead of replacing.)

Check and see if your brake lights work , the code is for the brake light circuit possible brake light switch.

Hey thanks guys Ill test the switch. I very sure my brake lights work, but I know most brake pedal switches are double pole so maybe the secondary switching for the ABS coomputer is bad.


How do I reset this code so I can test any repairs????

Disconnect the battery cables ro reset...

I left both battery cables off for over an hour, The light is still there, even when I first start the car before pressing the brake or anything.

Someone please explain exactly how to reset the abs light.

My brake lights work fine.

I took the brake switch off the pedal and tested with a multimeter... everything seems like it worked fine.

In my past experience, when you have a code like "Open circuit in stoplight switch circuit" there are usually one or maybe two very common points of failure. Anyone with experience repairing this excact code.

Thanks.
