ABS not working

Just noticed that the ABS light on the dash is not lighting up when I start the car. Sure enough, the ABS does not work when I tried it.

Is it the ABS relay on the ABS pump itself? The one under the plastic cover? Isnt the ABS light on the dash supposed to come on when the ABS isnt working?

Thanks.

The light should come on when a fault is present. Maybe the bulb burned out or is loose.

I don't know if there are self-diagnostics for the ABS. You might be better off taking it to a dealer for diagnosis. Also, if you worked on the front brakes recently, check that the speed sensors are present and plugged in.
