FERM, I want to hijack this thread a little!!
"97 Jeep Cherokee, ABS light stays on and it ain't ABS'n no more. What should I look for?

CY if you get the trouble code, we might be able to narrow it down to just one O2 sensor.

Tsubaki, are you sure it ever was ABS? Reason I ask is I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport w/4.0L engine. I also have an ABS light on my dash, but I don't have ABS. Never did. From what I can find, ABS was not a standard item until 2000... before that it was an option. But the dash panel is standard for several years, and they just didn't hook the light up in the dash if the buyer didn't get ABS.

Well, I thunk I do!
Till the light came on the tires wouldn't slide.

Anyone have access to Ondemand5? If not let me know the code, and we can get a clear picture of the fault, i.e., R or L front sensors, or rear, or a faulty ABS pump/module.

Cool!!!... I have none of that stuff on my 98'.. except for the ABS icon on my dash, which does not light up since there is no light behind it.

My tires slide all the time... LOL

The ABS system used later on was a KELSEY HAYES I believe and they are pretty much bulletproof for the pump and module. Most likely you have a wheel speed sensor or something malfunctioning. I can't remember if you need a breakout box or a bidirectional scanner to read ABS codes on that one.

My abs light in my town car stays on also, my auto mech said its some sort of pump ( Im dont know anything about it) but he said I have brakes like the old days and it was nothing to worry about, That was a couple yrs ago and at the time i think he quoted me a price of 5-6 hundred to fix, but he honestly told me to save the money.

Thanks FERM, I was worried about it being the pump.
I first tried blowing the wheel sensors, no difference.
The code reader I had didn't pull up anything.
Been doing the same thing as lumber for a couple of years.
