Description of the problem | I had a flat tire, rear driver side tire. I was unaware of the actual mileage that was on my car at that time. Pulled over and changed flat tire with spare doughnut tire (which is a joke). I proceeded to drive off and the abs light immediately came on and said it was disabled. I continued driving to les schwab tire center in hood river, or.. They said the flat was not repairable and they were unable to sell me 1 tire since my vehicle is awd. I limped back home to portland on the 35 mph spare tire. I was able to get cheaper tires through another dealer but when my new tires were put on my abs never reactivated and to this day the light stays on saying it is disabled. It is the difference between driving a 1973 monte carlo vs a 2003 pontiac aztek. I have had several places check it out and they have said it is in the wheel sensors??? All 4? I had them replaced and it still says the abs is disabled. What is the problem? And this went out over having a flat tire?? I do not have the money to take it to dealer. Please tell me what to do to get this fixed. It is annoying at best. Thank you. |
