Need an ABS capable scan tool. The codes won't reset if the trouble is still there.

Will that work, or are you assuming it will? Speaking from experience?

You can unplug the battery for 6 days, but if you haven't fixed the ABS problem, the light will come back shortly after the vehicle starts to move.

What Pete meant is that it doesnt matter how long you unplug the battery, the problem needs to be FIXED or the light and codes are going to keep coming up.

LOL, ok ;-)

Well, it seems the system needed time to recalibrate itself or something, since the lights finally went out w/out disconnecting the battery! They were lit solid until I replaced the ABS Motor Pack (well and for a day after that)... and yes, the shop verified all three ABS wheel sensors read the same speed, so sensors are good... Hopefully the light will stay off -- time will tell!

Woot!
