94 325i conv ABS light
I have a 94 325i where the ABS light come on as soon as I turn the key. I took it to the dealer and they said the wheel sensors were good but the module was not processing the signals. I replaced the ABS module, both relays, checked the fuses in the relay box, and replaced the ABS pump and I still have the light. Not sure where to go next. The car runs great except no ABS.

hi again...is abs sensor the same as brake pad sensor? my cousin's e36 has the same problem as yours. Diagnostics from the dealer doesn't show any problems from its computer but ABS light is turned on.

The break wear sensor is a separate cable that mounts into the brake pad. This will show a different warning light on the dash board. There are several things that could cause the abs light to come on. There are 2 relays under the hood (red and grey) there are several fuses that can cause it. Also the ABS pump can cause the light to go on too. I would check all the fuses first, Then the relays they are about 25.00 each. If you have the bently manual that would help.
