ABS Light

Anyone know why I get the ABS light everytime it rains. At first, it will go on and off. but as it got colder and it rained (it has been a while that it rained), it finally came back. I turned the car off and then I turned it on a couple hours later to go to the store and the ABS light was still on. What is going on here?
The first couple times the ABS light came on, the brakes were having trouble braking. Like it wasn't locking properly causing the car to hesitate until it stop. I had to press a couple times on the brake.

It's not bad, it's dirty. You won't be able to tell without a tool that can do ABS.

You'll likely have to spray the **** out of them with penetrating lube, but I would just remove and clean all of them.

What's the best way to clean them with?

When the light is on take it to your mechanic. They have those high end OBD readers that can read the ABS information

I got one for $134 from amazon, it was supposed to read the ABS, and it can't communicate....it is done through the OBD port, right? Cuz the reader does read the I/M stuff etc., so it's definitely connected up.

It was the Autel 619 which specifically does Nissan....doesn't work....

You need an ABS module to see those codes. My OBD reader cannot.
