If you fixed the problem, the light would go off. The sensor is detecting that something is still wrong or the problem you fixed wasn't corrected at all. You can try to disconnect the battery for a few hours, see what happens then.

Depending on the year, you may be able to get the ABS system to tell you where it hurts by grounding the correct pin of the OBDII connector.

What part(s) did you replace in an attempt to correct the problem?

I had the abs light on for a while, I took it to the mecanic to figure out the problem. It seems that it was one of the abs speed sensors, I called Dave B intalled the sensor. The light is out.

I had problem with the abs back then, got it fixed.

It came back around when I put the SE wheels in my GLE. I dont think that's the problem though.

You may have raped a sensor during the wheel exchange..

Without Scan Tool

FUNCTION

* When a problem occurs in the ABS, the ABS warning lamp on the instrument panel comes on. When a problem occurs in the TCS, the TCS OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp on the instrument panel comes on. To actuate the self-diagnostic results mode, ground the self-diagnostic (check) terminal located on "Data link connector". The location of the malfunction is indicated by the ABS warning lamp or SLIP indicator lamp flashing.
* Without TCS...A self-diagnostic result is indicated by means of the ABS warning lamp.
* With TCS...A self-diagnostic result is indicated by means of the SLIP indicator lamp.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

1. Drive vehicle over 30 km/h (19 MPH) for at least one minute.
2. Turn ignition switch "OFF".
3. Ground terminal "9" of "Data link connector" with a suitable harness.


4. Turn ignition switch "ON" while grounding terminal "9". Do not depress brake pedal. Do not start engine
5. After 3.0 seconds, the ABS warning lamp or SLIP indicator lamp starts flashing to indicate the malfunction code No. (See NOTE.)
6. Verify the location of the malfunction with the malfunction code chart. Then make the necessary repairs following the diagnostic procedures.
7. After the malfunctions are repaired, erase the malfunction codes stored in the control unit.
8. Rerun the self-diagnostic results mode to verify that the malfunction codes have been erased.
9. Disconnect the check terminal from the ground. The self-diagnostic results mode is now complete.
10. Check ABS warning lamp, TCS OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp for deactivation after driving vehicle over 30 km/h (19 MPH) for at least one minute.
11. After making certain that ABS warning lamp, TCS OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp does not come on, test the ABS/TCS SELF-DIAGNOSIS in a safe area to verify that it functions properly. NOTE: The indication terminates after five minutes. However, when the ignition switch is turned from "OFF" to "ON", the SLIP indication starts flashing again. The TCS OFF indicator lamp and ABS warning lamp remain lighted.
__________________________________________________ ______________
1. Under the self-diagnostic results mode, the malfunction memory erase mode starts when the check terminal is disconnected from the ground.

2. The self-diagnostic results (malfunction codes) can be erased by grounding the check terminal more than three times in succession within 12.5 seconds after the erase mode starts. (Each grounding must be longer than one second.) The ABS warning lamp or SLIP indicator lamp stays on while the self-diagnosis is in the erase mode, and goes out after the erase operation has been completed.

3. The self-diagnosis is also completed at the same time. After the erase operation is completed, it is necessary to rerun the self-diagnostic mode to verify that malfunction codes no longer appear. Only the start code (12) should be indicated when erase operation is completed and system is functioning normally. NOTE: The TCS OFF indicator lamp and ABS warning lamp remain lighted.

1. Determine the code No. by counting the number of times the ABS warning lamp or SLIP indicator lamp flashes on and off.
2. When several malfunctions occur at one time, up to three code numbers can be stored; the latest malfunction will be indicated first.
3. The indication begins with the start code 12. After that a maximum of three code numbers appear in the order of the latest one first. The indication then returns to the start code 12 to repeat (the indication will stay on for five minutes at the most).

I recieved that info from alldata.com (no links, you need an account with them). And if you can't figure all that out then I guess you can always go to the dealer for diagnosis

I actually have to do this myself, so I'll let you know how it turns out.

Be careful with this. The picture showing the location of pin 9 on the connector is incorrect I believe. If you short that pin to ground I think you'll blow the general electronics fuse. I'm not where I can look at the pinout at the moment though, so I'm not 100% sure.

Not sure what direction you were looking at the connector but it worked fine for me. And the pic Is correct
